Description This study aimed to determine the impact of complex decongestive
therapy applications on upper extremity function in breast cancer patients who developed adhesive capsulitis after lymphedema.
Thirty patients who developed adhesive capsulitis due to lymphedema
were divided into two groups as study (n = 15) and control (n = 15) groups. Both
groups received 20 minutes of exercise five days a week for three weeks using a
Biodex isokinetic dynamometer, as well as a hot pack and TENS (Transcutaneous
Electrical Nerve Stimulation) treatment to the shoulder joint. The study group received
45 minutes of intensive decongestive therapy along with the adhesive capsulitis
treatment. The visual analogue scale was used to assess pain, circumference,
and volumetric measurements were used to assess edema, and the Arm, Shoulder,
and Hand Problems Questionnaire (DASH: Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and
Hand) was used to assess upper extremity functionality. The shoulder range of motion
was evaluated.
