Summary

The most common complications following mastectomy are pain, lymphedema of the upper limb ipsilateral to surgery, decreased range of motion (ROM), limited to 90° of flexion, abduction, and external rotation to 40° of the shoulder, and postural changes. It was reported that 60% of breast cancer patients show a reduction in shoulder flexion and abduction at 1-month post-surgery and 10% of survivors show a persistent ROM reduction at 12 months. So, The purpose of the study was to evaluate the therapeutic impact of scapular mobilization and strengthening exercises on shoulder function post-mastectomy.

Conditions

  • Oncologic Complications
  • Exercise Therapy
  • Shoulder Pain
  • Shoulder Syndrome

Interventions

OTHER

Scapular mobilization and Scapular strengthening exercises

The intervention was applied for four weeks, 3 sessions/week. and the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI): for measurement of shoulder disability and the Inclinometer: for measurement of shoulder flexion, abduction, external rotation, and scapular upward rotation were used for shoulder assessment before and after the intervention for both groups.

OTHER

Conventional physical therapy program

The intervention was applied for four weeks, 3 sessions/week. and the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI): for measurement of shoulder disability and the Inclinometer: for measurement of shoulder flexion, abduction, external rotation, and scapular upward rotation were used for shoulder assessment before and after the intervention for both groups.
