Effect of Thera Band Exercises on Adhesive Capsulitis Post Mastectomy

Breast cancer surgeries particularly mastectomy results in limited shoulder movement which can lead to arm, shoulder pain and stiffness. Females who underwent mastectomy have reported a significantly higher incidence of shoulder morbidity

About this study

Exercise therapy might help in reduction of pain and restoration of the range, coordination and control of movement in patients with adhesive capsulitis. Graded resistance exercises are effective in decreasing fatigue levels, enhancing functional capacity and muscle strength. Rehabilitation exercises which strengthen the scapular stability can be extremely beneficial in rehabilitation treatment of patients with shoulder pain and problems

Treatment and study plan

Exercise

Other

Hot packs, active range of motion exercises, pendular exercises, wall climb exercises, mobilization exercises, and shoulder capsular stretching

Thera band

Other

graded Thera band exercises for shoulder flexion, abduction, internal, and external rotation

Other names: graded Thera band exercises and scapular stabilization exercises

Primary outcomes

  1. Shoulder range of motion

    Time frame: at baseline

    A digital goniometer flexion and abduction, internal and external rotation range of motion

  2. Shoulder range of motion

    Time frame: after 8 weeks

    A digital goniometer flexion and abduction, internal and external rotation range of motion

  3. physical function

    Time frame: at baseline

    the Disability of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand questionnaire [DASH] is used to measure physical function

  4. physical function

    Time frame: after 8weeks

    the Disability of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand questionnaire [DASH] is used to measure physical function

  5. Health-related quality of life

    Time frame: at baseline

    assessed using the Medical Outcomes Study short-form (SF-36).

  6. Health-related quality of life

    Time frame: after 8 weeks

    assessed using the Medical Outcomes Study short-form (SF-36).

Secondary outcomes

  1. Muscle strength

    Time frame: at baseline

    A handheld dynamometer (J Tech Commender Muscle Tester, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA)

  2. Muscle strength

    Time frame: after 8 weeks

    A handheld dynamometer (J Tech Commender Muscle Tester, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA)

  3. Visual analogue scale

    Time frame: at baseline

    used to assess the intensity of shoulder pain. consists of 10-cm line, and was utilized to quantify the pain severity within shoulder, where the score of zero means no pain, while a score of ten means significant pain

  4. Visual analogue scale

    Time frame: after 8 weeks

    used to assess the intensity of shoulder pain.consists of 10-cm line, and was utilized to quantify the pain severity within shoulder, where the score of zero means no pain, while a score of ten means significant pain
