Summary

During the Covid-19 pandemic, rehabilitation services for all patients were affected, and a term that was previously in use but gained popularity during the pandemic entered our vocabulary: 'Telerehabilitation'. The purpose of our study is to evaluate the treatment process and adherence of patients undergoing telerehabilitation.

Conditions

  • Breast Cancer Related Lymphedema
  • Telerehabilitation

Interventions

OTHER

Manuel Lymphatic Drainage(MLD), Exercises

MLD:It is a unique massage technique that uses specific hand movements to provide a gentle pumping effect on the skin. Massage movements follow the direction of lymph flow and produce rapid results. The aim of this method is to achieve maximum skin tightening effect with minimum pressure. Exercise, on the other hand, increases physical performance, improves body composition, and provides an increase in quality of life by providing acute and chronic reductions in fatigue. Both aerobic exercises and strengthening exercises have been found effective on physical performance. It shows that a mixed program consisting of components such as aerobics, strengthening, coordination and stretching can positively affect flexibility, pain and energy expenditure in breast cancer patients.
