Comparative Effects of Isometrics Versus Range of Motion Exercises on Pain, Mobility and Functional Independence in Post-Mastectomy Patients

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Post Mastectomy; Postmastectomy Pain

• Registration Number: NCT07043959
• Lead Sponsor: University of Faisalabad

Brief Summary

The aim of study was to investigate the comparative effectiveness of Isometrics versus Range of Motion (ROM) Exercises on Pain, Mobility and Functional Independence post-mastectomy. A randomized clinical trial was conducted, in which 30 participants were randomly assigned to 2 parallel groups. One group received Isometric Exercises, while the other received Range of Motion Exercises. Outcome measures included pain, range of motion and functional independence. Treatments were administered 3 times per week with 2 sets of each exercise with 5-7 repetitions per day for a duration of eight weeks.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Shoulder Pain	Eight Weeks	Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) with decreasing values indicates improved patient condition and reduced pain intensity.
Shoulder ROM	Eight Weeks	Goniometer with increasing ROM indicates improved patient condition and joint movements.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Shoulder Functional Independence	Eight Weeks	Upper Extremity Functional Scale determines the level of function of participant where higher score indicates improved upper extremity function and reduced functional impairment.
