简要总结
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.

研究组 & 干预措施
Isometrics Exercise Group A
Group A received a hot pack for 10-15 minutes and performed deep breathing exercises for 3-4 repetitions. Patients were instructed in diaphragmatic breathing, where they inhaled deeply, held their breath for 2-3 seconds, and then exhaled. Following this, isometric exercises were performed, consisting of 2 sets of each exercise with 5-7 repetitions per set, done three times per week for a total duration of 8 weeks.
干预措施: Isometrics Exercise (Procedure)
Range of Motion Exerccise Group B
Group B received a hot pack for 10-15 minutes and performed deep breathing exercises for 3-4 repetitions. Patients were guided in diaphragmatic breathing, where they inhaled deeply, held their breath for 2-3 seconds, and then exhaled. Afterward, they performed Range of Motion (ROM) exercises, consisting of 2 sets of each exercise with 5-7 repetitions per set, conducted three times per week over a period of 8 weeks.

结局指标
主要结局
Shoulder Pain
时间窗: Eight Weeks
Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) with decreasing values indicates improved patient condition and reduced pain intensity.
Shoulder ROM
时间窗: Eight Weeks
Goniometer with increasing ROM indicates improved patient condition and joint movements.
次要结局
- Shoulder Functional Independence(Eight Weeks)
