    Hi all,

    I’m currently trying to further my understanding of the causes of reduced ankle ROM and decreased peripheral muscle strength after chemotherapy treatment. Am I right in assuming this is linked to the neurotoxicity of chemotherapy treatment?

    If anyone has any information in regard to this topic I would be very grateful if they could please point me in the direction. I have so far only been able to find limited information in respect to documenting chemotherapy and reduced ankle ROM but nothing on the possible causes of this.

    Its probably related the the peripheral neuropathy that is a side effect of a number of chemo drugs.
