Exercise program for shoulder problems after breast surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a special exercise program called 'Kinetic Control Exercise' to see if it can improve shoulder movement and reduce pain after a mastectomy (breast removal surgery). If you have shoulder stiffness or trouble moving your arm after your surgery, this program might help you recover better.
