Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of rehabilitation robotics in upper limb functionality involved in the surgical treatment of breast cancer. The study will be conducted following the delineation of randomized clinical trial. It will be assessed 108 women aged between 30 and 60 years, submitted to surgical treatment of breast cancer and axillary dissection.
Detailed Description
Breast cancer is one of the most common neoplasia types, with greater involvement in the female population, showing a high mortality rate in Brazil, due to diagnosis in advanced stages. With the increased survival of women treated for breast cancer, the evaluation of the effect of therapeutic resources for the morbidities resulting from surgical treatment of breast cancer are essential. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of rehabilitation robotics in upper limb functionality involved in the surgical treatment of breast cancer. The study will be conducted following the delineation of randomized clinical trial. It will be assessed 108 women aged between 30 and 60 years submitted to surgical treatment of breast cancer and axillary dissection, divided between two equal groups: control group (GC) - composed of women who had undergone conventional rehabilitation and experimental group (GE) - composed of women who had undergone rehabilitation robotics. The data obtained in the study aim to improve the forms of intervention against the functional alterations resulting from surgical treatment.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Pain classification change
Time Frame: "15 days" and "30 days"
Pain measure will be done through Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) questionnaire, classifying it from 0 (low) to 100 (high).
Arm strength change
Time Frame: "15 days" and "30 days"
Arm strength measure will be performed with a hand dynamometer.
Change in the amplitude of arm movement
Time Frame: "15 days" and "30 days"
The amplitude of arm movement wil be measured by a goniometer.
Upper limb disability change
Time Frame: "15 days" and "30 days"
This outcome wil be measured by Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire, classifying it from 0 (low) to 100 (high).
Secondary Outcomes
- Quality of life change("15 days" and "30 days")
