Shoulder and scapulothoracic impairments in women with breast cancer-related lymphedema in the upper limb: A cross-sectional study shoulder and breast cancer-related lymphedema.

Introduction: Lymphedema in the upper limb as a complication of breast cancer may lead to shoulder pain and dysfunctions.

Objective: To compare the scapular positioning, the shoulder range of motion, and muscle strength among women undergoing treatment for breast cancer with and without lymphedema and a control group.

Methods: This cross-sectional study evaluated women undergoing treatment for breast cancer (N = 25) and without lymphedema (N = 25), and a control group (N = 25).

Influence of type 1 diabetes on the postural control of women in the third gestational trimester.

Background: Diabetes can cause biomechanical alterations that may be responsible for additional changes to those existing in a regular gestational period. The way a maternal body responds when affected by diabetes has not been clearly understood. This study aimed to describe the influence of type 1 diabetes on pregnant women's postural control.

Ischemic compression and kinesiotherapy on chronic myofascial pain in breast cancer survivors.

Objective: assess the effects of ischemic compression and kinesiotherapy on the rehabilitation of breast cancer survivors with chronic myofascial pain.

Methods: A randomized, controlled, blinded clinical trial was performed with 20 breast cancer survivors with myofascial trigger point in the upper trapezius muscle. Patients were randomly allocated to ischemic compression + kinesiotherapy (G1, n = 10) and kinesiotherapy (G2, n = 10).

Intra- and Inter-Rater Reliability of Bioimpedance in the Evaluation of Lymphedema Secondary to Treatment of Breast Cancer.

The objective of the study was to evaluate the intra- and inter-rater reliability of bioimpedance in determining upper limb volume in women with lymphedema resulting from breast cancer treatment, as well as its correlation with the upper limb volume calculated by circumferential measurement. A blind cross-sectional study was performed in which 27 women (62.59 ± 10.

Analysis of peak plantar pressure and center of pressure oscillation in individuals with chronic neck pain: A cross-sectional study.

Background: Baropodometric evaluation has been used in research and clinical environments by professionals who are working on the physical rehabilitation of patients. However, to date, there is no published data on the use of baropodometry in patients with chronic neck pain.

Objective: To analyze peak plantar pressure and center of pressure oscillation in individuals with chronic neck pain compared to a control group.

Correlation Between Upper Limb Volume and Arterial and Venous Blood Flow Velocity in Lymphedema Secondary to Breast Cancer Treatment.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to correlate upper limb volume and arterial and venous blood flow velocity in breast cancer survivors.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 30 women with lymphedema and a mean age of 55.60 years (standard deviation = 8.

Blood Flow Velocity in Brachial and Subclavian Vessels Immediately After Compressive Procedures for Treatment of Postcancer Therapy Lymphedema in Breast Cancer: A Randomized Blind Clinical Trial.

Objective: This study sought to evaluate the effect of elastic compression, functional compressive bandaging, and kinesiotherapy on blood flow of the upper limb with lymphedema secondary to the treatment of breast cancer.

Methods: This was a randomized blind crossover clinical trial with a washout period of 7 days between treatments. We evaluated 20 women with a mean age of 66.
