Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Chemotherapy, hormone therapy and radiotherapy used in the treatment of breast cancer try to prevent the recurrence of cancer. In addition to the benefits of radiotherapy, such as a decrease in recurrence and an increase in long-term survival, it may have side effects that may affect the well-being and daily life activities of patients. One of the treatment modalities used to cope with treatment-related side effects is myofascial release exercises. Myofascial release exercises can help reduce adhesions caused by scar tissue and fibrosis caused by radiation. In the literature, there is no study investigating the effect of myofascial release exercises on pectoralis major muscle viscoelastic structure. For this purpose, our study aims to investigate the effect of myofascial release exercises performed in addition to home exercise programme on pectoralis major muscle viscoelastic structure, pain, range of motion and shoulder functionality.
