• Conditions: Breast Cancer; Quality of Life; Fatigue
• Interventions: Other: resistive training; Other: kinesiotaping

• Registration Number: NCT05726643
• Lead Sponsor: Cairo University

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study will be to investigate the effect of kinesotaping augmented by resistive exercise on fatigue, muscle strength, and QoL in breast cancer survivors.

Detailed Description

The present study will provide an evidence base to women's health care providers about the effect of strength training augmented by kinesotaping on fatigue, QoL and muscle strength in breast cancer women compared to strength training alone

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
kinesotaping group	kinesiotaping	consists of 20 patients who will receive resistive training program augmented by kinesotaping, 2 times /week for 12 weeks.
resistive training group	resistive training	consists of 20 patients who will receive resistive training for 2times per week for 12 weeks
kinesotaping group	resistive training	consists of 20 patients who will receive resistive training program augmented by kinesotaping, 2 times /week for 12 weeks.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Assessing the change in fatigue	at baseline and after 12 weeks of intervention	The Fatigue Severity Scale is a 14-item will be used to measure the severity, frequency and diurnal variation of fatigue, as well as its perceived interference with quality of life.
Assessing the change in quality of life	at baseline and after 12 weeks of intervention	By using 36-Item Short Form (SF-36) health survey will be used to assess QoL. The SF-36 questionnaire includes eight multiple-item subscales that evaluate physical function, social functioning, role limitations due to physical problems and role limitations due to emotional problems, mental health, vitality, pain and general health perception. Total score on each SF-36 subscale ranges between 0 and 100. Greater score indicates better QoL
Assessing the change in muscle strength	at baseline and after 12 weeks of intervention	Muscle strength will be assessed using dynamometer at starting and after 12 weeks of the treatment course.
