Effect of Thera Band Exercises on Adhesive Capsulitis Post Mastectomy

Maged Basha70 enrolled

Overview

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

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
