You might try contacting the Rehab Services folks at MD Anderson's Department of Palliative Care.
You can find them at http://www.mdanderson.org/departments/palliative/

I would also recommend looking at The Role of Occupational Therapy in Palliative Care chapter in Conversation in Palliative Care available on the HPNA.ORG website it is a great resource, there is also a chapter about Physical Therapists role as well by William Tatu. Patrick MSN, APRN, Clinical Director VCU/Massey’s Thomas Palliative Care Services.
