简要总结
Chemotherapy, hormone therapy and radiotherapy used in the treatment of breast cancer try to prevent the recurrence of cancer. In addition to the benefits of radiotherapy, such as a decrease in recurrence and an increase in long-term survival, it may have side effects that may affect the well-being and daily life activities of patients. One of the treatment modalities used to cope with treatment-related side effects is myofascial release exercises. Myofascial release exercises can help reduce adhesions caused by scar tissue and fibrosis caused by radiation. In the literature, there is no study investigating the effect of myofascial release exercises on pectoralis major muscle viscoelastic structure. For this purpose, our study aims to investigate the effect of myofascial release exercises performed in addition to home exercise programme on pectoralis major muscle viscoelastic structure, pain, range of motion and shoulder functionality.

结局指标
主要结局
Tone - pectoralis major
时间窗: 6 weeks
Myoton® PRO (Myoton Ltd, Myoton AS, Estonia) device will be used to objectively evaluate the measurement of Pectoralis Major muscle tone of the patients who will participate in the study. Myoton® PRO is a portable digital device that measures the tone with an objective and noninvasive method. A constant pre-pressure (0.18 N) is applied to the skin surface to compress the subcutaneous superficial tissues. The tension state of the tissue that characterized by the natural oscillation frequency; Hz.
Range of motion
时间窗: 6 weeks
Shoulder range of motion will be evaluated by digital goniometer. Shoulder flexion degree, shoulder extension degree, abduction and adduction degree, internal rotation and external rotation degree will be assessed with digital goniometer. The results will be recorded in degrees.
次要结局
- Pain - Visual Analogue Scale(6 weeks)
- Shoulder Pain and Disability Index- SPADI(6 weeks)
- Quality of Life- Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast" (FACT-B)(6 weeks)
