Effect of Thera Band Exercises on Adhesive Capsulitis Post Mastectomy

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Adhesive Capsulitis of Shoulder
• Interventions: Other: Exercise; Other: Thera band

• Registration Number: NCT05311839
• Lead Sponsor: Maged Basha

Brief Summary

Breast cancer surgeries particularly mastectomy results in limited shoulder movement which can lead to arm, shoulder pain and stiffness. Females who underwent mastectomy have reported a significantly higher incidence of shoulder morbidity

Detailed Description

Exercise therapy might help in reduction of pain and restoration of the range, coordination and control of movement in patients with adhesive capsulitis. Graded resistance exercises are effective in decreasing fatigue levels, enhancing functional capacity and muscle strength. Rehabilitation exercises which strengthen the scapular stability can be extremely beneficial in rehabilitation treatment of patients with shoulder pain and problems

Thera band exercises group	Thera band	received graded Thera band exercises for 5 days per week for eight weeks in addition to the conventional physical therapy program.
conventional physiotherapy program group	Exercise	received a conventional physical therapy program.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Shoulder range of motion	after 8 weeks	A digital goniometer flexion and abduction, internal and external rotation range of motion
physical function	after 8weeks	the Disability of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand questionnaire \[DASH\] is used to measure physical function
Health-related quality of life	after 8 weeks	assessed using the Medical Outcomes Study short-form (SF-36).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Muscle strength	after 8 weeks	A handheld dynamometer (J Tech Commender Muscle Tester, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA)
Visual analogue scale	after 8 weeks	used to assess the intensity of shoulder pain.consists of 10-cm line, and was utilized to quantify the pain severity within shoulder, where the score of zero means no pain, while a score of ten means significant pain
