Brief summary
Breast cancer-related lymphedema is one of the most common chronic complications of breast cancer survivors. In existing studies, the reported incidence of lymphedema ranges from 2.5% to 42.9% . At present, there is no cure for lymphedema. Resistance training has been proved by many studies to alleviate the symptoms of lymphedema, improve the muscle strength of the upper limbs of patients, and improve the quality of life of patients, while not worsening lymphedema. Based on the best evidence, this study intends to construct resistance appropriate for this clinical scenario Training program: Conduct 3-month intervention for patients after breast cancer surgery to explore the effect of resistance training on the grip strength of the affected limb, the range of motion of the shoulder joint of the affected limb, the occurrence of lymphedema of the affected limb, quality of life, etc.
Interventions
BEHAVIORALResistance training
Bend the dumbbell, holding one dumbbell in each hand, on the side of the body, bend the arm to lift the dumbbell, front wall and upper arm as close as possible, pause for a moment, and then slowly lower the dumbbell until both arms are completely straight The second section of the dumbbell side flat, straight back, feet standing, arms perpendicular to the side of the body, hands grasp the dumbbell, to the side above the shoulder level, elbow slightly bent, and then put back in place The third section of the dumbbell rowing, feet stand straight, hold the dumbbell, the arm as far back as possible, can feel the upper arm and the waist back is stretched, and then straight back into the preparatory position Section 4: Lift the dumbbell flat in front of you, with your feet open, hold the dumbbell with both hands, extend your arms naturally in front of you, lift the dumbbell to the elbow above shoulder height, stay for 1-2 seconds.
