Overview
Brief Summary
This study will be a randomized controlled trial. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the therapeutic effect of Wii Fit balance board games on balance in patients with osteoporosis post mastectomy.
Detailed Description
Women with breast cancer face an increased risk of osteoporosis, necessitating screening and treatment to prevent fractures due to aging and treatment effects. Osteoporosis exacerbates balance issues, raising fall risks among these patients. The treatments often lead to accelerated bone loss and compromised musculoskeletal support, amplifying their vulnerability to fractures. Integrated management strategies that enhance bone health and balance rehabilitation are essential for this group. Post-mastectomy systematic movement exercises are vital for maintaining activity and preventing posture issues, significantly improving balance. Additionally, the use of interactive systems like Wii Fit has shown to effectively aid balance training and improve overall physical function for breast cancer patients, making it a valuable component of at-home rehabilitation programs to reduce fall risk and enhance quality of life.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Berg Balance Scale (BBS).
Time Frame: at baseline and after 8 weeks
The Berg Balance Scale consists of 14 items, each scored on an ordinal scale from 0 to 4 (0 = unable to perform, 4 = normal performance). Document the baseline scores for each item. Tasks Included: Sitting balance. Standing balance. Dynamic balance. Scoring: Total possible score is 56 points. Higher scores indicate better balance. Post-Treatment Assessment: Re-evaluate the patient using the same BBS after eight weeks of treatment.
Secondary Outcomes
- assessment of balance using the Wii Fit balance board(at baseline and after 8 weeks)
