: Cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy often face challenges that reduce their physical function and quality of life. Technological resources offer innovative solutions for physical rehabilitation, but the extent of their application in this context remains unclear. This scoping review aims to explore and map the various technological tools used to support physical rehabilitation in cancer patients during chemotherapy, focusing on their potential to improve outcomes and enhance patient care. : A scoping review was conducted following the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) guidelines and the PRISMA-ScR framework. Comprehensive searches were performed in the MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus, SPORTDiscus, and COCHRANE databases. The included studies focused on the technological resources used in physical rehabilitation for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Data extraction followed the World Health Organization's "Classification of Digital Health Interventions v1.0" to categorize the technologies. : A total of 32 studies met the inclusion criteria. The most commonly used technologies included wearable devices (16 studies), web-based platforms and telerehabilitation systems (7 studies), mHealth applications (6 studies), virtual reality (2 studies), and exergaming (3 studies). These tools were designed to enhance physical function, manage treatment-related symptoms, and improve overall quality of life. Wearable devices were particularly effective for monitoring physical activity, while web-based platforms and mHealth applications supported remote rehabilitation and patient engagement. : Technological resources offer significant opportunities for personalized rehabilitation interventions in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. However, further research is needed to evaluate the long-term effectiveness, cost-efficiency, and clinical integration of these tools to ensure broader accessibility and sustainable impact.
接受化疗的癌症患者常常面临一些挑战，这些挑战会降低他们的身体机能和生活质量。技术资源为身体康复提供了创新解决方案，但它们在这一背景下的应用程度仍不明确。本综述旨在探索和梳理在化疗期间用于支持癌症患者身体康复的各种技术工具，重点关注其改善康复效果和提升患者护理水平的潜力。
按照乔安娜·布里格斯研究所（JBI）指南和PRISMA-ScR框架进行了一项综述。在MEDLINE、CINAHL、Scopus、SPORTDiscus和COCHRANE数据库中进行了全面检索。纳入的研究聚焦于用于接受化疗的癌症患者身体康复的技术资源。数据提取遵循世界卫生组织的《数字健康干预分类v1.0》对技术进行分类。
共有32项研究符合纳入标准。最常用的技术包括可穿戴设备（16项研究）、基于网络的平台和远程康复系统（7项研究）、移动健康应用程序（6项研究）、虚拟现实（2项研究）以及运动游戏（3项研究）。这些工具旨在增强身体机能、管理与治疗相关的症状并改善整体生活质量。可穿戴设备在监测身体活动方面特别有效，而基于网络的平台和移动健康应用程序则支持远程康复和患者参与。
技术资源为接受化疗的癌症患者提供了个性化康复干预的重大机遇。然而，需要进一步研究来评估这些工具的长期有效性、成本效益和临床整合情况，以确保更广泛的可及性和可持续影响。
