Summary

The modified radical mastectomy (MRM) is a major surgical approach that necessitates the dissection of axillary lymph nodes. As a result, there is more bleeding and the treatment takes longer time. This treatment is used to treat locally advanced breast cancer. Numerous factors, including pain and respiratory depression from general anaesthesia, can impair respiratory function during the post-operative period. Pain causes the thoracic cage's post-operative movement to be restricted and the breathing muscles to become inhibited.

Conditions

  • Mastectomy

Interventions

OTHER

Kinesiotaping

Participants will be seated on a chair, KT will be applied bilaterally at the end of the expiration on the fifth to sixth and ninth to tenth intercostal muscles transversally and on the anterior and posterior axillary line longitudinally with 50% tension. In order to stimulate the muscle and support the function, the stimulation technique is usually applied from the origin to the insertion of the muscle with the recommended stretching of 25 to 50%.

OTHER

chest physical therapy

The chest physical therapy program is consisted of deep breathing exercises, postural drainage, and cough.
