“…32 After the physiotherapeutic intervention, even with increased values found in the beginning, the difference in the treated limb remained significant for flexion, abduction and external rotation, the most affected movements, which clinically and functionally are the most important movements for the activities of daily life. 23,27 Considering that all physiotherapy treatment was given bilaterally, the preserved limb also showed a significant increase in ROM, comparing the initial and final evaluation for flexion and abduction. There was a significant improvement of nearly all the movements of the he surgery side between the initial and final evaluations, except for the internal rotation.…”

Age is the main risk factor for developing breast cancer and clinically, older women have a more difficult rehabilitation process. Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of physiotherapy intervention in range of motion (ROM) of shoulder and thermographic map of elderly postoperative treatment of breast cancer. Methods: A total of 10 elderly, undergoing surgery for breast cancer. The evaluation was done before and after the intervention by means of the goniometer for ADM measures and thermographic camera Eletrophysics PV320T, to identify the temperature of the thoracic region. We used the Wilcoxon test and Spearman correlation, with a 0.05 significance level. Results: The patients showed significant improvement in range of all movements of the affected limb, except internal rotation. When comparing the assessment of temperature values with the revaluation, there was an increase in temperature of the thoracic regions, and only significant values preserved breast. By comparing the temperature of the region preserved with compromised in the evaluation, there was a significant difference, since the revaluation, there was an approximation of these values. Conclusion: The correlation between increased temperature and ADM was significant for both members adduction and internal rotation member preserved in the evaluation. Intervention assured resolution or reduction of amendments on physical examination, improved ROM, increased temperature of the thoracic regions, and correlation between temperature increase and ROM bilateral adduction and internal rotation member preserved in the initial evaluation.

“…The major postoperative complication of the treatment of breast cancer is the limitation of the range of motion (ROM) of the shoulder and it is accompanied by impairment and decrease of the upper limb function (Petito & al, 2012). Most affected movements after surgery are: flexion, abduction and external rotation (Hsieh & al.…”

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study is to observe the effects of active, guided exercises on postoperative complications, shoulder range of motion (ROM) and functionality of the arm and the in women undergoing radical mastectomy or lumpectomy with axillary lymph node dissection for breast cancer. We compared patients who participated at the recovery exercise program to those who didn't attend any exercise program and patients with different associated therapies (hormone, chemo, chemo+radiotherapy). METHODS: The study was carried out on 140 patients with breast surgery for cancer, divided in two groups: the study group and the control group. Both groups were divided in three categories: patients with associated hormone therapy, patients with chemotherapy and patients with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. RESULTS: The most affected movements after surgery are: flexion and abduction. Also, the most significant changes happen for these two movements after daily participating to the physical therapy program. Postoperative complications are ameliorated and functionality tests for the arm show an improvement. CONCLUSIONS: A structured, patient tailored, well designed and early applied exercise program has several benefits on troublesome symptoms, functionality and range of motion of the ipsilateral arm. There are differences between the three categories of patients regarding the followed aspects, although, physiotherapy influences all of those aspects in well.
