Complicated by severe organ dysfunction, uncontrolled cardiopulmonary disease, or hypertension, and deemed unable to tolerate exercise by the attending physician. 3. Presence of motor dysfunction or musculoskeletal disorders (including history of trauma) that impair balance or ambulatory function, such as severe osteoarthritis or unhealed fractures. 4. Presence of uncontrolled symptomatic brain metastases, unstable bone metastases, or a judgment by the attending physician that the patient is unfit for exercise because of widespread tumor metastases. 5.
