About this study

This study holds significant importance for clinical practice, patient care, and research.

  • Clinical Practice: It provides a potential framework for physical therapists to design targeted and effective interventions for shoulder dysfunction in post-mastectomy patients.
  • Patient Care: Improved rehabilitation outcomes can enhance patients' physical functionality, independence, and overall quality of life, addressing a critical gap in post-operative recovery.
  • Research Advancement: By contributing to the limited body of literature on kinetic control in this context, the study can stimulate further research and innovation in rehabilitative care for breast cancer survivors.

Treatment and study plan

kinetic Control exercises

Other

Kinetic Control exercises consist of 45-minute sessions, with 3 sessions per week for 8 weeks. The framework for testing and rehabilitation includes initial assessment, rehabilitation before failure, and retesting the same position. Biofeedback measures scapular retraction, and biofeedback pressure training assesses and improves scapular stabilizer control by monitoring pressure changes during specific movements.

traditional treatment

Other

traditional therapy inform of stretching and strengthening exercise as shoulder roll, arm circle, wall climb, back climb and hand behind neck. Patients will receive 3 sessions per week for 8 weeks, the time of session is 45 - 60 min according to patient ability

Primary outcomes

  1. assessment of change of range of motion

    Time frame: at baseline and after 8 weeks

    Patients will be seated with their affected limb relaxed, and their goniometer will measure their resting position and active range. They will measure shoulder abduction and flexion, which are rarely affected by day-to-day activities, and external shoulder rotation.

Secondary outcomes

  1. assessment of ability to maintain controlled shoulder movements while stabilizing the scapular and shoulder

    Time frame: at baseline and after 8 weeks

    it is a series of tests to assess kinetic control, including shoulder flexion, scapular retraction, and isometric holds. The tests focus on maintaining consistent pressure, detecting compensatory patterns, and evaluating fatigue. The tests also include a scapular stabilization test and a shoulder flexion stability test, which measure muscle activation patterns and stability.

  2. assessment of ability to maintain controlled shoulder movements while stabilizing the scapular and shoulder

    Time frame: at baseline and after 8 weeks

    The tests also include a scapular stabilization test and a shoulder flexion stability test, which measure muscle activation patterns and stability.
