The Effect of Myofascial Chain Release Techniques on Shoulder Joint Range of Motion in Breast Cancer Survivors
Sponsor: Istanbul Medeniyet University
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.

Conditions
Interventions
conventional physiotherapy
A basic physiotherapy program consisting of shoulder exercises will be applied to the participants. content of the physiotherapy program * Shoulder passive/active abduction, flexion, internal and external rotation exercises * Posture exercises * Neck stretching exercises * Pectoralis major stretching exercises * Shoulder capsule stretching exercises * Scapular Mobilization exercises
Manual lymphatic drainage
manual lymph drainage is a manual technique that is applied to the lymphatic system with a pressure of 40-50 mmHg and increases the working speed of lymphatic nodules/collectors. Manual lymph drainage will be made to the anterior axillar-axillar, posterior axillar-axillar and axilla-inguinal anastomosis collectors and the arm region (up to the elbow) lymph collectors.
Myofascial relasing
it will be done with the thumb or 3rd finger from the acu points of the superficial arm-anterior myofascial chain. 6-8 seconds with thumb to these points. pressure will be applied and vibration will be given clockwise.
