Journal Title: Biology of Exercise - Year 2016, Vol 12, Issue 2
Abstract
Breast cancer is the most frequently occurring disease in which the diagnosis may lead to extensive emotional, physical and social discomfort and audible feelings internal conflict emotions. Fear of activity makes patients insensitive causing the body to weaken. as a result of surgery created imbalances in body structures and orthostatic changes that alter the biomechanics of the body and which are maximized by weak as a result of inactivity. modern studies have shown how the exercise and the exercise is generally to reverse many compared with the absence of motor activity. the purpose and primary objective of this randomized clinical study is to investigate the utility and effectiveness of alternative exercise program with the method Graham, in women with mastectomy with respect to the functional capacity and quality of life. the study included 37 women with breast cancer (n = 37), which had been lymphoid cleaning and removal volume which been allocated randomly separation by the process of the lottery the usual care (group a, n = 20) and the usual care group and additional tweaks Graham (group B, n = 17). For the statistical analysis of the data used central tendency and dispersion measures and comparisons averages (pair sample t test) to investigate changes in the evaluated parameters of quality of life, functionality, physical activity and balance stability between different times evaluations (Start, week 4, week 8). there were also comparisons averages for independent samples (independent sample t test) to investigate the differences between the groups in each evaluated parameter at any time. the significance level was set at p≤ 0,05. results: the study completed in eight weeks from January 2015 up to march 2015, with intermediate measurements in February. the findings of the study showed greater improvement in quality of life (questionnaire Fact B) to group routine care and additional tweaks Graham in connection with the group routine care in 4th (105.89 ± 22.02 vs 96.55 ± 15.86) and 8th week (113.28 ± 19.23 vs 95.38 ± 14.94) of the program for 4 and 8 weeks compared to baseline (95.51 ± 29.15 vs 95.10 ± 19.06) of the procedure (p <0.05).
