Study Overview
Brief Summary
In breast cancer patients, limitation of shoulder joint movement may occur following cancer treatment. Shoulder limitation causes a significant decrease in the patient's participation in activities of daily living. The aim of the study is to define these limitations, to evaluate in detail all the structures that cause the problem, and to determine the causes of the limitations in patients with shoulder joint movement limitation developed after breast cancer survivors.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
measurement of the range of shoulder joint motion
Time Frame: Baseline
The range of shoulder flexion, abduction, extension and external-internal rotation movements will be measured with a universal goniometer.
measurement of tissue stiffness (N/m)
Time Frame: Baseline
Stiffness values will be measured with myotonPro on centers of coordination located along the myofascial chain
measurement of passive muscle tone (Hz)
Time Frame: Baseline
muscle tones will be measured with myotonPro on centers of coordination located along the myofascial chain
measurement of creep of tissue
Time Frame: Baseline
creep of tissue will be measured with myotonPro on centers of coordination located along the myofascial chain
Secondary Outcomes
- measurement of pain(Baseline)
- measurement of grip strength(Baseline)
- measurement of skin temperature(Baseline)
- measurement of pain pressure threshold(Baseline)
