The Effect of Myofascial Chain Release Techniques on Shoulder Joint Range of Motion Following Mastectomy Surgery in Breast Cancer Survivors
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Other
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
In breast cancer patients, limitation of shoulder joint movement occurs following mastectomy surgery. Studies have reported that damage to the fascia on the pectoralis major muscle during mastectomy surgery contributes to the development of the limitation. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of release techniques applied to the fascia on the pectoralis major muscle and the fascial chain on the incerasing of shoulder joint range of motion.

Treatments
Active_comparator: control group
Conventional physiotherapy program (joint movement exercises, local relaxation techniques, etc.) will be applied to the participants in this group.
Experimental: Manual lymphatic drainage group
In addition to the conventional physiotherapy program, manual lymphatic drainage (including upper limb extremity and anterior/posterior axillar-axillar anastomoses and axilla-inguinal anastomosis) will be applied to the participants in this group.
Experimental: Myofascial relasing group
In addition to the conventional physiotherapy program, myofascial chain relasing techniques will be applied to the participants in this group.
Experimental: Lymphatic drainage and myofascial releasing group
In addition to the conventional physiotherapy program, manual lymphatic drainage (including upper limb extremity and anterior/posterior axillar-axillar anastomoses and axilla-inguinal anastomosis) and myofascial chain relasing techniques will be applied to the participants in this group.
