In sensorimotor training (SMT), in this case balance training as a sub-category of SMT, exercises are carried out on different surfaces and in different standing positions. SMT has the potential to induce regenerative and adaptive mechanisms, contributing to the plasticity of the nervous system. While the effort and material involved for this exercise modality is minimal, effects remain high and reproducibility is good. It can be adjusted individually to the participant's daily performance level. To date, SMT has been conducted in the context of rehabilitation as well as injury and fall prevention. In recent years, SMT has also been successfully implemented in adult oncology in order to improve common impairments of the lower extremities, such as reduced balance control. Children after inpatient oncological treatment also suffer from various mobility-related impairments of their lower extremities which can lead to further physical inactivity. These impairments may occur as a result of chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). SMT seems to have the potential to improve sensory and motor dysfunctions, contributing to higher physical activity in general. With the objective of implementing a child-friendly, motivating and individual SMT, a specific training concept for paediatric oncology was developed at the Department of Sport, Exercise and Health at the University of Basel. In this training concept, children use a turntable to compose the sensorimotor exercises based on their daily performance level. The feasibility of the training concept was tested in a 4-week pilot study, conducted within an established exercise program after cancer treatment of the German Sport University Cologne in the Children's Hospital Amsterdamer Strasse Cologne. 6 children and adolescents after oncological treatment took part. The preliminary results of the pilot study and a case example show that a child-friendly and playful SMT after paediatric oncological disease is feasible without occurrence of adverse events. Therefore, SMT might be a valuable and targeted training modality supplementing exercise therapy in paediatric oncology.
