| Summary: | A number of 2.09 million breast cancer cases are diagnosed annually, according to the latest Wolrd Heath Organization reports. The treatment can lead to multiple side effects, that negatively impact the quality of life, such as: decreased shoulder mobility and strenght of the upper limb, chronic pain, anxiety, depression. The present paper is a study case aimed to identify the effects of an individualized low-intensity exercises program practiced in order to increase the upper limb strenght. We included in this study 25 female subjects (n=25), aged between 33 and 70 years old, who underwent radical mastectomy and received chemotherapy and radiotherapy. |
