Обзор

This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effects of visual-feedback induced therapy and Active Release Technique on shoulder pain, lymphedema, and functional disability in post-mastectomy patients. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either conventional physiotherapy combined with Active Release Technique or conventional physiotherapy combined with visual-feedback therapy. Outcomes will be measured at baseline and after 6 weeks of intervention.

Подробное описание

Post-mastectomy patients frequently experience shoulder pain, restricted mobility, and lymphedema, leading to functional disability and reduced quality of life. Conventional physiotherapy provides partial relief; however, innovative approaches such as visual-feedback therapy (mirror therapy) and Active Release Technique may offer improved outcomes. This study evaluates and compares the effectiveness of these interventions in improving pain, limb swelling, and upper-limb function. The findings may help identify optimal rehabilitation strategies for breast cancer survivors.

Вмешательства

  • Другое Active release technique
    Participants in the experiment group 1 will receive a combination of conventional physiotherapy and Active Release Technique (ART) for 40-60 minutes per session, three times per week, over 6 consecutive weeks. The conventional physiotherapy includes hot pack therapy for 15 minutes to reduce pain and improve tissue extensibility, followed by 25-30 minutes of exercise therapy. Exercises target shoulder range of motion (flexion, abduction, external rotation), strengthening of rotator cuff and scapu
  • Другое Visual-Feedback Induced Therapy
    Participants in the experimental group 2 will receive the same conventional physiotherapy as the experimental group 1, plus Visual-Feedback Induced Therapy (VFIT) for 40-60 minutes per session, three times per week, for 6 weeks. VFIT uses mirror during shoulder and upper-limb exercises, allowing patients to observe the unaffected limb performing movements while performing symmetrical movements with the affected limb. Exercises focus on shoulder flexion, abduction, rotation, and functional reachi
