Summary
This study looked at whether a 10-week exercise program is practical and helpful for people who have finished treatment for head and neck cancer. Twenty-two survivors took part in supervised and home exercises. The goal was to see if people would join, stick with it, and find it acceptable, while also measuring changes in neck function and quality of life.
