Effectiveness of a Visual Biofeedback Program Versus Conventional Physiotherapy on Shoulder Mobility, Strength, and Function in Women After Breast Cancer Surgery
Sponsor: University of Extremadura
Summary
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a physiotherapy program incorporating visual biofeedback compared to a conventional physiotherapy program in improving shoulder function in women following breast cancer surgery. Breast cancer survivors frequently experience shoulder dysfunction, including reduced range of motion, decreased strength, altered neuromuscular activity, and impaired scapulohumeral control. While conventional physiotherapy is effective, there is growing interest in interventions targeting motor control and neuromuscular coordination through biofeedback strategies. Participants will be randomly assigned to either a control group receiving conventional physiotherapy or an experimental group receiving the same program supplemented with visual biofeedback using the MotionGuidance system. Outcomes will include shoulder strength, range of motion, functional performance, electromyographic activity, and muscle oxygen saturation.
