简要总结
The aim of our study is to compare the effects of clinical Pilates and yoga training on lymphedema, upper limb muscle strength, proprioception, functions and quality of life in women with lymphedema after breast cancer.
详细描述
A total of 60 post breast cancer lymphedema individuals will be included in our study. The study will be performed in individuals who live in T.R.N.C and who develop mild, moderate or severe lymphedema after breast cancer in the 35-70 age range.
A randomized controlled trial design with three groups were used; 1) A Hatha yoga intervention group, 2) Clinical Pilates intervention group, 3) Control group.
Individuals in the intervention groups will be given 24 sessions of yoga or Clinical Pilates training 3 times a week for 8 weeks. Control group will not receive any treatment. During the training, and control group individuals will be asked to wear compression stockings during the 8 weeks and an educational booklet will be given to the each group.
The yoga classes included a progression of low-impact, modified poses, stretching and isometric exercises focused on the shoulders, arms, and chest, and meditation. Breathing and poses to drain the lymphatic system were incorporated throughout the yoga practice to assist with lymphatic flow. Before starting the Clinical Pilates exercise program, the patients will be trained on Pilates exercises and postures. During training, the patients will be taught how to create lumbopelvic stability (core stabilization), which is the basis for Pilates exercises, and spinal stabilization and appropriate posture techniques.
As a result of the research, the data will be analyzed to determine which treatment method is more effective in lymphedematous individuals.

结局指标
主要结局
upper extremity lymphedema
时间窗: eight weeks
Bilateral arm volume was measured with the upper extremity volumetric cup.Participants submerged their arm and hand into a water-filled column up to their axilla, and the volume of displaced water was recorded. Due to differences in volumetric measurement between both arms, it will be recorded.
次要结局
- upper extremity muscle strength(eight weeks)
- upper extremity proprioception(eight weeks)
- upper extremity muscle endurance(eight weeks)
- upper extremity functions(eight weeks)
- Quality of Life Questionnaire(eight weeks)
