Article Synopsis
- Postural control is crucial for functional independence in breast cancer survivors and can be influenced by therapeutic approaches and conditions like lymphedema.
- A study investigated how different manual contacts of an "anchor system" affect body sway in women with and without lymphedema following breast cancer treatment.
- Results indicated that bilateral contact with the anchor system significantly reduces body sway in both groups, highlighting its effectiveness in maintaining postural control, irrespective of visual input or upper limb volume differences.
