Brief summary

Patients who underwent modified radical mastectomy were enrolled in the study. 200 subjects were randomly divided into 4 groups: 7 days postoperative shoulder isotonic training + 4 weeks postoperative progressive resistance training group, postoperative 7 Isometric training for the shoulder joint + progressive resistance training for 3 weeks after surgery group, 3 days postoperative isotope training + 4 weeks postoperative progressive resistance training group, 3 days postoperative shoulder isotonic training + postoperative 3 Weekly progressive resistance training group. The effects of interventional rehabilitation at different time points on the recovery of shoulder function after breast cancer operation were observed. The results of the study will provide evidence-based evidence for the time point of intervention in early functional exercise after modified radical mastectomy for breast cancer.

Interventions

OTHER7 days SIE plus 4 weeks PRE

Shoulder isotonic exercise (SIE):exercise methods for shortening and relaxing the muscles around the shoulder joint. Progressive resistance exercise (PRE):A training method that gradually increases the resistance, which will increase the muscle capacity.

Postoperative chemotherapy or radiation therapy according to the condition; 5. No other malignant tumors within 5 years; 6. No physical therapy related contraindications; 7. Signing informed consent.

Exclusion criteria

1. The result of SLNB is negative who did not receive ALND; 2. Received breast reconstruction surgery (prosthesis, latissimus dorsi, etc.); 3. Combined tumor metastasis with other tissues and organs (liver, kidney, lung, brain, etc.); 4. Combined severe heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, and mental illness; 5. Patients with shoulder joint dysfunction before surgery; 6. Unable to understand the rehabilitation training program provided by doctors or physiotherapists.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Constant-Murley Shoulder Score1 weeks after surgeryThe shoulder function was evaluated by the total score of the Constant-Murley Shoulder Score Questionnaire, which ranged from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate better shoulder function.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Shoulder joint muscle strength3 days, 3, 6, 9 weeks after surgeryIn the standard position, the muscle strength of the flexion, extension, external rotation and internal rotation of the shoulder joint were assessed according to the manual muscle test standard.
Active and passive range of motion3 days,1, 2, 3, 6, and 9 weeks after surgeryIn the standard position, the mobility of the shoulder flexion, extension, external rotation and internal rotation was measured by using protractor. The range of flexion is 0-180°, the range of extension is 0-180°, the range of external rotation is 0-90°, and the range of internal rotation is measured. 0-70°. The assessments will be performed in the active and passive state separately.
The power of gripping1, 3 days and 1, 2, 3, 6, and 9 weeks after surgeryIn the standard position, the grip of the patient's palm is measured using a dynamometer.
EORTC QLQ BR23 Breast Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire1, 3, 9, 12, 18 weeks after surgeryThe quality of life assessment of breast cancer patients was evaluated by the total score of the EORTC QLQ BR23 Breast Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire, which ranged from 0 to 92. Higher scores indicate better quality of life.
SF-36 Health status questionnaire1, 3, 9, 12, 18 weeks after surgeryThe quality of life assessment of breast cancer patients was evaluated by the total score of the SF-36 Health status questionnaire, which ranged from 0 to 92. Higher scores indicate better quality of life.

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
Upper limb circumferencePreoperative 3, 9, 12,18 weeks after surgery
body weightPreoperative, 3, 9 weeks after surgery
Sum drainage from chest wall and axillary after operation.1 day, 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks after surgeryThe postoperative drainage was the total volume of the chest wall drainage tube and the underarm drainage tube. The volume measurement and recording in the drainage bag were observed daily by the nurse.
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)1 day, 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks after surgeryVisual Analogue Scale(VAS): Used to assess the degree of pain. Draw a 10 cm horizontal line on the paper. One end of the horizontal line is 0, indicating no pain; the other end is 10, indicating severe pain; the middle part indicates different degrees of pain.
