Effects of Inhibition Compression Versus Scapular Mobilization Technique on Shoulder in Patients With Mastectomy
Sponsor: Superior University
Summary
A mastectomy is a medical surgery in which the breast is removed whole or in part. Breast cancer is the second most prevalent cancer diagnosed in women. Rotator cuff dysfunction-related shoulder pain is a common symptom associated with mastectomy, reconstruction, and therapy for breast cancer.) Patients who get treatment for breast cancer report reduced strength (prevalence 17-33%), loss of upper limb range of motion (prevalence 2-51%), and reduced ability to carry out daily life tasks.

Inhibition Compression
Group A will receive conventional Physiotherapy treatment along with the scapular mobilization which will include; * Electrotherapy (TENS and hot pack) for 10 min * Active and passive ROMs for 5 min * pectoral stretching for 5min * shoulder joint mobilization. To mobilize the shoulder joint, distraction of the glenohumeral joint, posterior glide and caudal glide were performed to the patient in supine position at a frequency of two to three oscillations/second for one to two minutes. (10 min) * Manual scapular mobilization will be done in sideline with their back towards the physiotherapist.
Scapular Mobilization Technique
Group B will receive the same baseline physiotherapy treatment as in group A along with the Inhibition compression therapy which is a (MET). MET was performed on shoulder. Patient position: supine lying position. Following are the steps involved in application of MET: (1) stretch the muscle to a felt 'barrier' or to their tolerance of stretching (2) create a voluntary contraction that is isometric of the muscle being stretched while being resisted with equal and regulated counterforce by the physiotherapist for 7-10 seconds. (3) a stretch is held for a set amount of time after the muscle relaxes (4) the physiotherapist "takes up the slack" once the muscle relaxes Duration of treatment was approximately 15-20 minutes.
