Summary

The aim of this research is to compare the effect of Comparison of Kinesiotaping and Graded exposure therapy on Kinesiophobia in Post-Mastectomy patients. The sample size was 30. The subjects were divided in two groups, 15 subjects in kinesiotaping group and 15 in graded exposure therapy group. Study duration was of 1 year. Sampling technique applied was nonprobability Convenience sampling technique. Patients had recently undergone mastectomy procedure age between 30 to 60 years and mean Tempa- 11 score of \>23 were included. Tools used in the study are Tempa -11 for kinesiophobia, NPRS for Pain, SPADI for Functional outcome measure. Data was be analyzed through SPSS 26.

Conditions

  • Post-mastectomy Pain Syndrome

Interventions

OTHER

Experimental interventional group 1(Kinesiotaping)

Kinesiotape will be applied by using two I-bands application technique: Short band: to apply this ask the patient to move your arm behind her back as much as possible, then apply kinesiotape at the anterior glenohumeral joint. Longer band: to apply this ask the patient to horizontal adduct her arm as much as possible, than apply kinesiotape targeting the posterior side of glenohumeral joint. Apply both these band with paper-off stretch for 3-5 days or as depending upon skin sensitivity and tape adherence. Kinesiotape will be applied once a week for total time period of 3 weeks.

OTHER

Experimental interventional group II (Graded exposure therapy)

First week: gentle arm raises with 10 repetitions/day, slow and controlled stretch 25 to 50% force with 5 repetitions, passive internal and external rotations (with towel) with 5 repetitions each/day. Second week: overhead arm raises (wall climbing) with 10 repetitions/day, pendulum exercises 10 repetitions/day, cross arm stretches 5 repetitions/day, active internal and external rotations with 5 repetitions each/day. Third week: resistance exercises (initially with minimum weight or manual resistance), scapular squeezes 10 repetitions/day, gentle chest stretches 5 repetitions/day and gentle stretch with 75 to 100 % force 5 repetitions each/day.
