Summary

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.

Conditions

• Breast Cancer Survivors

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	measurement of tissue stiffness (N/m)	Stiffness values will be measured with myotonPro on centers of coordination located along the myofascial chain
OTHER	measurement of passive muscle tone (Hz)	muscle tones will be measured with myotonPro on centers of coordination located along along the myofascial chain
OTHER	measurement of creep of tissue	creep of tissue will be measured with myotonPro on centers of coordination located along the myofascial chain
OTHER	measurement of the range of shoulder joint motion	The range of shoulder flexion, abduction, extension and external-internal rotation movements will be measured with a universal goniometer.
OTHER	measurement of skin temperature	measurements will be taken by the thermographic camera
OTHER	measurement of pain	Pain will be evaluated by visual analog scale (VAS)
OTHER	measurement of pain pressure threshold	Pain pressure threshold will be evaluated by a digital algometer
OTHER	measurement of grip strength	The grip strength of both hand will be evaluated by "hand-held" dynamometer.
