“…A review of several studies [1][2][3][4][5] show that breast cancer survivors have functional and radiological pulmonary changes, that require increased attention from the physical therapist. Some studies emphasize the importance of water therapy [12][13][14] and Pilates program [8,9] for improving cardiopulmonary fitness and overcoming upper extremity disorders in breast cancer survivors.…”

“…A growing body of research is demonstrating that a combination of surgery and adjuvant radiation therapy greatly improve the long-term results of breast cancer treatment, overall survival, but leads to negative side-effects including from the respiratory system and quality of life [1][2][3]. The literature suggests that cardiopulmonary toxicity, radiation pneumonitis, respiratory muscle weakness, impaired lung diffusion, activity-related dyspnea may occur in different periods of cancer treatment, as well as after its completion.…”

Introduction: The growing research demonstrates that breast cancer surgery and adjuvant radiation therapy greatly improve the long-term results of cancer treatment, overall survival, but leads to negative side-effects including from the respiratory system and quality of life. Aim: To evaluate the impact of a 12-week water program on the respiratory function in breast cancer survivors. Material and methods: 68 patients who had survived breast cancer participated in a 12-week physical rehabilitation. Pulmonary function parameters were evaluated in 34 women who performed water program (group A) and 34 women who received Pilates program (group B). Participants of both groups attended 36 rehabilitation sessions over 3 months. Results: Based on the results of 12-week rehabilitation, it has been determined that proposed water program is more effective for improvement of pulmonary function in breast cancer survivors at outpatient rehabilitation. It was demonstrated that vital capacity and forced vital capacity were statistically higher by 270 (p<0.001) and 190 ml (p<0.01), respectively in women of group A as compared to the group B. The respiratory minute volume was lower in group A by 1.06 l/min (p>0.05) compared to the group B that indicated about more economical ventilation in rest and increasing the functional reserve of the respiratory system in breast cancer survivors. Conclusions: The water-based program appears to be more effective then a Pilates program for improvements in vital capacity, forced vital capacity, maximal voluntary ventilation, and expiratory reserve volume in breast cancer survivors.

“…The patients experience treatment side effects and have various rehabilitation needs, which means that individualization is fundamental for optimal rehabilitation. Unfortunately, pain and functional disorders are common problems among these women and have numerous negative consequences; they may contribute to sleep disturbances, anxiety, fatigue, depression, and negative physical and psychosocial impact on patients' lives [4][5][6][7].…”

IntroductionThe aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of yoga intervention enhanced by progressive muscular relaxation on pain in women after breast cancer surgeryMethodsOverall, 84 patients after Madden mastectomy were eligible for this study. After the exclusion of 7 women, 77 participants were randomly allocated to group A (n = 38), receiving progressive muscular relaxation and visualization exercises in addition to yoga intervention, and group B (n = 39), receiving yoga intervention only. McGill Pain Questionnaire and visual analogue scale were used to evaluate pain at baseline and after the 4-week intervention.ResultsMost of the investigated pain characteristics in both studied groups steadily improved during the 4-week rehabilitation. However, the 4-week monitoring indicated that using progressive muscular relaxation and visualization exercises in addition to the yoga intervention was more effective for reducing self-reported pain in women after Madden mastectomy. The post-intervention level of pain reported in the visual analogue scale and present pain intensity were statistically lower in group A compared with group B by 0.99 points (p < 0.05) and 1.68 points (p < 0.05), respectively.ConclusionsPerforming progressive muscular relaxation and visualization exercises in addition to yoga intervention helped reduce pain in women after Madden mastectomy.

“…Rehabilitation measures are considered as the basis for the treatment of lymphedema, and physical exercises are an integral part of such rehabilitation [7][8][9]. in the absence of proper treatment, lymphedema provokes the emergence of secondary complications, such as adipositis, lymphangitis, axillary vein thrombosis, and even lymphosarcoma [5][6][7].…”

Introduction. The aim of the study was to compare the effectiveness of two individualized physical interventions on the upper limb condition after radical mastectomy. Methods. overall, 68 patients after breast cancer surgery participated in 12-week outpatient rehabilitation. They were randomly enrolled for water individualized physical intervention (water exercise group, n = 34) and Pilates physical intervention (Pilates group, n = 34). Upper limb force (dynamometry), size of upper limb lymphedema (circumference), and active range of motion (goniometry) on the affected side were determined before and after 36 individualized physical rehabilitation sessions. Results. After 12-week physical rehabilitation, the average values of active range of flexion and abduction were statistically significantly higher in the water exercise group compared with the Pilates group by 8.73 degrees (p < 0.01) and 6.87 degrees (p < 0.01), respectively. The size of lymphedema in the area of forearm and hand was significantly lower in the water exercise group compared with the Pilates group by 0.46 cm (p < 0.05) and 0.44 cm (p < 0.05), respectively. There were no statistically significant differences in upper limb force between the studied groups at the end of the 12-week intervention. Conclusions. The results have confirmed that elaborated individualized physical interventions might be considered as effective methods for range of motion improvement and decrease in breast cancer-related lymphedema in patients with post-mastectomy syndrome. The 3-month water exercises were more effective in improving mobility and muscle force of the upper limb and decreasing lymphedema than Pilates exercises.
