The Effects of Radiotherapy on Lower Extremity Muscle Strength in Patients With Pelvic Bone Metastases

Key Points

• This research aims to evaluate how radiotherapy affects muscle strength in patients with metastatic pelvic bone cancer.
• Conducted an observational study design
• Assessed muscle strength before and after radiotherapy
• Evaluated relevant physiological changes
• Significant reduction in lower extremity muscle strength post-radiotherapy
• Impacts seen in various muscle groups related to pelvic support
• Identified a correlation between treatment dosage and strength loss
