Risk Factors for Shoulder Joint Motion Restriction
Study Details
Study Description
Brief 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.

|---|---|
| Experimental Group Breast cancer survivors with shoulder joint motion restriction |
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.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- measurement of tissue stiffness (N/m) [Baseline]
Stiffness values will be measured with myotonPro on centers of coordination located along the myofascial chain
- measurement of passive muscle tone (Hz) [Baseline]
muscle tones will be measured with myotonPro on centers of coordination located along the myofascial chain
- measurement of creep of tissue [Baseline]
creep of tissue will be measured with myotonPro on centers of coordination located along the myofascial chain
- measurement of the range of shoulder joint motion [Baseline]
The range of shoulder flexion, abduction, extension and external-internal rotation movements will be measured with a universal goniometer.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- measurement of skin temperature [Baseline]
measurements will be taken from the area covering 3 cm of the surgical incision with a P45 thermographic camera with high thermal sensitivity
- measurement of pain [Baseline]
Pain will be evaluated by visual analog scale (VAS). In the scale, the patient is asked to mark the most appropriate pain intensity on a scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (tolerable pain). The higher the score, the greater the pain intensity.
- measurement of pain pressure threshold [Baseline]
Pain pressure threshold will be evaluated by a digital algometer
- measurement of grip strength [Baseline]
The grip strength of both hand will be evaluated by "hand-held" dynamometer.
