- Brief Summary
Breast cancer-related lymphedema is one of the most common chronic complications of breast cancer survivors. In existing studies, the reported incidence of lymphedema ranges from 2.5% to 42.9% . At present, there is no cure for lymphedema. Resistance training has been proved by many studies to alleviate the symptoms of lymphedema, improve the muscle strength of the upper limbs of patients, and improve the quality of life of patients, while not worsening lymphedema. Based on the best evidence, this study intends to construct resistance appropriate for this clinical scenario Training program: Conduct 3-month intervention for patients after breast cancer surgery to explore the effect of resistance training on the grip strength of the affected limb, the range of motion of the shoulder joint of the affected limb, the occurrence of lymphedema of the affected limb, quality of life, etc.

Group Intervention Description Resistance training Resistance training Bend the dumbbell, hold a dumbbell in each hand, put it on the side of the body, bend the arm to lift the dumbbell, the front wall and the upper arm as close as possible; Hold the dumbbells flat on the side, with the back straight, stand with feet, arms perpendicular to the side of the body, hold the dumbbells with both hands, and lift the dumbbells to the side above shoulder level, elbows slightly bent; Stand with your feet straight, hold the dumbbells, and extend your arms back as far as possible. You can feel your upper arms and lower back being stretched. With your feet open, hold the dumbbells with both hands and extend your arms naturally in front of you. Lift them up until your elbows are above shoulder height and hold for 1-2 seconds.The training frequency is 2 to 3 times a week, 2 to 3 sets each time
