Summary

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.

Detailed 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

Conditions

• Breast Cancer
• Fatigue
• Quality of Life

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	resistive training	5 minutes warming up exercise for various parts of the body as moderately energetic walking. 5 to 10 minutes stretching exercise for (pectorals major, hamstring, hip flexors, and calf muscles) with each static stretch held for at least 20 seconds in first week and then 30 seconds for the remaining 5 weeks and this will be repeated about four times. 10 to 15 minutes strengthening exercise by using weights for lower limbs (knee extensors, hip abductors, and hip extensors) at first session for each patient. Ten repetitions maximum (10 RM) will be determined, which is the maximal weight can be lifted through the entire range of motion 10 times.
OTHER	kinesiotaping	Tape will be applied to each participant in the treatment group for the sartorius, rectus femoris, hamstrings, tibialis anterior, fibularis brevis, and the patella bilaterally using strips of the standard 2-inch Kinesio Tex Tape. The first and last inch of each strip will be applied without tension. The length of the strip will be applied with a 20%- 25% stretch and downward pressure to the insertion. Each of the sartorius, rectus femoris, hamstrings, tibialis anterior and fibularis brevis tapings used an I-strip. AY strip will be utilized for the patellar taping.
