Summary

The investigators have developed an online rehabilitation platform to guide women in their home-based upper-body exercises after breast cancer surgery. The platform includes rehabilitation videos that will guide the women in performing home-based early post-surgery upper-body rehabilitation tailored for each individual.

The primary objective is to assess the feasibility and acceptability of a home-based rehabilitation program supported by a supplemental online platform for women after breast cancer surgery before conducting a larger pragmatic trial in the future. The feasibility of the platform will be tested in 11 municipalities in Denmark.

OTHER

Home-based upper-body rehabilitation with online support

Participants will be given written educational material, in which the physiotherapist marks the exercises specifically recommended for the individual patient. In addition, participants will get a personal password giving access to the BRECOR website for 12 weeks. The website contains professionally filmed videos of upper-body rehabilitation exercises (joint mobility and muscle strength) and instructions in scar tissue massage and manual lymph drainage. Furthermore, mindfulness sessions and additional information about prevention and early detection of late effects after breast cancer treatment are available on the website. On average, participants will complete three rehabilitation exercises 5-7 times weekly with an anticipated duration of approximately 20 minutes.
