Resistance band or stability ball exercises for balance after breast surgery
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This study compares two types of exercises — using resistance bands versus a stability ball — to improve balance and posture in people who have lymphedema after breast cancer surgery. It aims to see which exercise helps you feel steadier and more stable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are female and between 30 and 50 years old.
- You have had a mastectomy on one side, and you have lymphedema (swelling) only on that side.
- You are able to give your informed consent to participate.
- You do not have other conditions that could affect your ability to exercise, such as uncontrolled heart or lung problems, diabetes, kidney disease, or active cancer.
- You are not pregnant and do not have other serious health issues that would make the exercises unsafe.
