Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Expected outcome 1: Seeks to verify whether the telerehabilitation protocol promotes increased muscle strength, improved AMD, increased shoulder functionality, improved quality of life, reduced fatigue and pain in patients undergoing mastectomy surgical treatment compared to the group of patients who underwent face-to-face physiotherapy. These data will be verified using the evaluation method of strength dynamometer, goniometry, Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand questionnaire, Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy – General questionnaire, Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy – Fatigue questionnaire and visual analogue pain scale, after a 6-week intervention protocol (45 days), being evaluated on the 15th and 45th day PO, based on the statistical difference of an alpha value lower than 0.05 for the group that performed only telerehabilitation compared to the group that performed face-to-face physiotherapy, thus verifying the expected outcomes actually occurred.;Outcome found 1: The research found that the group of patients who underwent telerehabilitation had ROM, verified through goniometry of the shoulder joint, significantly higher than the group that underwent in-person physiotherapy in flexion movements (P-value: 0.0041 and 0.0001), abduction (P-value: 0.0047 and 0.0001), extension (P-value: 0.0109 and 0.0105), and external rotation (P-value: (P-value: 0.0109 and 0.0277) in 15th and 45th day PO. Regarding muscular strength, assessed by dynamometry for the shoulder muscles, a statistically superior result was noted for flexion movements (P-value: 0.0116) on the 45th day and abduction (P-value: 0.0110 and 0.0318) on the 15th and 45th PO days. The shoulder functionality variables (P-value: 0.0215 and 0.0004), assessed using the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand questionnaire and pain (P-value: 0.0122 and 0.0047), assessed using the visual analogue pain scale, showed a statistical difference between the group that underwent face-to-face phys
