Study type: Observational

Funder types: Other

Details and patient eligibility

About

In breast cancer patients, limitation of shoulder joint movement may occur following cancer treatment. Shoulder limitation causes a significant decrease in the patient's participation in activities of daily living. The aim of the study is to define these limitations, to evaluate in detail all the structures that cause the problem, and to determine the causes of the limitations in patients with shoulder joint movement limitation developed after breast cancer survivors.

Enrollment: 72 estimated patients

Sex: Female

Ages: 30 to 60 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Women between the ages of 30-60
• Having breast cancer treatment within 5 years

Exclusion criteria

• Not having agreed to participate in the study
• Presence of additional orthopedic (scoliosis, etc.), neurological (multiple sclerosis, stroke, etc.) and rheumatological diseases (ankylosing spondylitis, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.) that will affect upper extremity functions
