Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Women scheduled for breast surgery due to breast cancer were enrolled in an individualized prehabilitation program that began in the preoperative period and continued for 12 months. The exercise program included range-of-motion, strengthening, and postural correction exercises delivered through supervised and home-based sessions. Outcomes were evaluated at baseline and at 1st, 3rd, 6th, and 12th months. Functional outcomes, shoulder range of motion, pain intensity, lymphedema development, and patient-reported quality of life were assessed.

Exercise-Based Prehabilitation Program

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The exercise program was delivered to patients through both visual and written materials, accompanied by face-to-face training sessions conducted by a physiotherapist. A home-based program was designed separately for the pre-surgery phase, postoperative day 1, day 3, day 7, and the maintenance period.

The exercise template included postural correction, breathing, aerobic, stretching, and resistive strengthening exercises targeting muscles in adjacent to the shoulder joint and mobilization of scapulothoracic complex via stretching and strengthening exercises of periscapular muscles.
