Total 50 participants were recruited for the study with purposive sampling method those were diagnosed with cancer and undergoing cancer treatment. The outcome measure was Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), 6 Minute Walk Test (6MWT).
Result: - Mean was calculated for each value of the scales. The total mean value of MFIS was 69.64 from which mean score of Physical Domain (34.12), Cognitive (31.2), Psychosocial (4.32). The mean of the total distance covered by the patients in 6 MWT was 494. Which was comparatively less that the normative value. Also, the mean score for VAS was 7.58.
