Abstract

Lung cancer metastasis is a complex process. This case report describes a case of a 58-year-old man with carcinoma of the lung with bony metastasis to spine T9-T11with the chief complaints of inability to move both lower limbs,breathlessness, and difficulty in bed mobility. Motor impairments may transpire in three different forms, which are paraplegia, hemiplegia, or quadriplegia. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) with body weight support treadmill training (BWSTT) isa widespread rehabilitation approach used to restore motor function of the lower limband balance. This case report specifies the physiotherapeutic rehabilitation protocol, which includes dyspnea management,FES with BWSTT, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, etc. for a patient undergoing physiotherapy The patient's occupational requirements and enhancement in executing daily living tasks were the focus of the physiotherapeutic rehabilitation. The outcomes used were the modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) grading of dyspnea and the Functional Independence Measure (FIM). We report a marked increment in muscle tone and strength, active range of motion (AROM), and significant enhancement in the individual's functional independence with physiotherapeutic protocol.
