About

The purpose of the study will be to investigate the effect of kinesotaping augmented by resistive exercise on fatigue, muscle strength, and QoL in breast cancer survivors.

Full description

The present study will provide an evidence base to women's health care providers about the effect of strength training augmented by kinesotaping on fatigue, QoL and muscle strength in breast cancer women compared to strength training alone
