• Conditions: Kinetic Control; Dysfunction; Shoulder; Mastectomy

• Registration Number: NCT07023913
• Lead Sponsor: Cairo University

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of kinetic control exercises on shoulder dysfunction in post-mastectomy.

Detailed Description

This study holds significant importance for clinical practice, patient care, and research.

* Clinical Practice: It provides a potential framework for physical therapists to design targeted and effective interventions for shoulder dysfunction in post-mastectomy patients.

* Patient Care: Improved rehabilitation outcomes can enhance patients' physical functionality, independence, and overall quality of life, addressing a critical gap in post-operative recovery.

* Research Advancement: By contributing to the limited body of literature on kinetic control in this context, the study can stimulate further research and innovation in rehabilitative care for breast cancer survivors.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
assessment of change of range of motion	at baseline and after 8 weeks	Patients will be seated with their affected limb relaxed, and their goniometer will measure their resting position and active range. They will measure shoulder abduction and flexion, which are rarely affected by day-to-day activities, and external shoulder rotation.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
assessment of ability to maintain controlled shoulder movements while stabilizing the scapular and shoulder	at baseline and after 8 weeks	The tests also include a scapular stabilization test and a shoulder flexion stability test, which measure muscle activation patterns and stability.
