Overview
Brief Summary
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women worldwide. A significant number of breast cancer survivors develop many complications. Breast cancer and survivors may develop a fear of physical activity avoidance and movement, called kinesiophobia, due to upper extremity pain, numbness, restricted arm/shoulder range of motion, and risk of lymphedema. Therefore, in the present study, it is aimed to compare the effect of fear of movement on physical activity, quality of life and psychological states in women who have had breast cancer with healthy people.
