The chronicity status of breast cancer survivors suggests a growing need for rehabilitation. Currently, the use technology is promising strategy providing support, as reflected in emergence research interest Web-based interventions survivorship.A randomized controlled trial was conducted that included total 81 participants who had completed adjuvant therapy (except hormone treatment) stage I to IIIA cancer. Participants were randomly assigned an 8-week Internet-based, tailored exercise...
Objective The aim of this study was to examine the relationship muscular strength, as measured by handgrip strength (HGS) test, with pain, fitness, fatigue, mood, and autonomic nervous system function in breast cancer survivors. Design A cross-sectional comprising 95 survivors conducted. HGS; heart rate variability; pressure pain threshold neck, shoulder, hand, tibia affected side; fitness level (6-min walk neck-shoulder mobility, vertical jump, sit-to-stand trunk curl test) were assessed...
To investigate the differences in widespread pressure pain hypersensitivity after two surgery approaches for breast cancer: mastectomy or lumpectomy.A cross-sectional blinded study.Widespread has been suggested as a sign of central sensitization. No study previously investigated presence cancer surgery.Twenty-one women (age: 52±9 years old) who had received lumpectomy cancer, 21 (mean age: 50±10 and healthy 51±10 participated.Pressure thresholds (PPT) were bilaterally assessed over C5-C6...
To describe the presence of widespread pressure pain hyperalgesia and myofascial trigger points (TrPs) in neck shoulder muscles patients with postmastectomy pain.Twenty-nine women (mean age: 50±8 y) 23 matched healthy controls 50±9 participated. Pressure thresholds (PPT) were bilaterally assessed over C5-C6 zygapophyseal joint, deltoid muscle, second metacarpal, tibialis anterior muscle. TrPs upper trapezius, suboccipital, levator scapulae, sternocleidomastoid, scalene, infraspinatus,...
To evaluate the effects of an 8-week water physical therapy program on cervical and shoulder pain, pressure sensitivity, presence trigger points (TrPs) in breast cancer survivors.Randomized, controlled trial.To date, no study has investigated cancer.Sixty-six survivors were randomly assigned into two groups: WATER group, who received a exercise or CONTROL group usual care treatment for cancer.The consisted 24 sessions (3 times/week over 8 weeks) low-intensity exercises warm pool (32°C). Each...
Background: Breast cancer patients have to face a high-risk state during chemotherapy, which involves deterioration of their health including extensive physical deterioration. Face-to-face exercise programs presented low adherence rates medical treatment, and telehealth systems could improve these rates.
Mobile learning (m-learning) has becoming very popular in education due to the rapidly advancing technology our society. The potentials of mobile applications should be used enhance process. Few have been designed complement study physical therapy skills for physiotherapy students. aim this was investigate whether a application, as supplement traditional learning, is useful students acquisition palpation and ultrasound shoulder area.Forty-nine participated single-blinded, randomized...
Background Smartphone-based learning, or mobile learning (m-learning), has become a popular learning-and-teaching strategy in educational environments. Blended combines strategies such as m-learning with conventional to offer continuous training, anytime and anywhere, via innovative activities. Objective The main aim of this work was examine the short-term (ie, 2-week) effects blended method using traditional materials plus app—the iPOT app—on knowledge, motivation, mood state, satisfaction...

(2011) European Journal of Cancer Care20, 632–639 Associations among musculoskeletal impairments, depression, body image and fatigue in breast cancer survivors within the first year after treatment The aim current study was to investigate relationship between pressure pain thresholds, shoulder movement, mood state, perception, muscle endurance, quality life (BCS)....
Background: Energy balance is defined as the difference between energy expenditure and intake. The current state of knowledge supports need to better integrate mechanistic approaches through effective studies in cancer population because an observed significant lack adherence healthy lifestyle recommendations. To stimulate changes breast survivors' lifestyles based on balance, our group developed BENECA (Energy Balance Cancer) mHealth app. has been previously validated a reliable monitoring...
Objectives: To analyze the effects of combination Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) supplementation and a health-related lifestyle intervention on disease activity cardiovascular risk factors in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). Methods: A total 38 women with SLE were randomly assigned to EVOO (n = 9) combined multicomponent health promotion physical exercise program (EVOO + HRLI) 15) or control (CG) 14) groups for 24 weeks. Baseline post-intervention assessments performed, collecting data...
The purpose of the present paper was to evaluate effects an 8-week multimodal program focused on core stability exercises and recovery massage with DVD support for a 6-month period in physical psychological outcomes breast cancer survivors. A randomized controlled clinical trial performed. Seventy-eight (n = 78) survivors were assigned experimental (core plus massage-myofascial release) control (usual health care) groups. intervention 8 weeks. Mood state, fatigue, trunk curl endurance, leg...
To evaluate the effects of an 8-week multidimensional physical therapy program, including strengthening exercises and recovery massage, on neck shoulder pain, pressure hypersensitivity, presence active trigger points (TrPs) in breast cancer survivors.In this randomized controlled clinical trial, 44 survivors were randomly assigned into 2 groups: CUIDATE group who received a program; or CONTROL usual care treatment for cancer. program consisted 24 hours individual training (aerobic, mobility,...
Objective: To compare the effects of an isolated application cervical spine thrust joint manipulation vs. cervical, cervico-thoracic junction and thoracic on neck pain, disability range motion in chronic pain. Design: Randomized clinical trial. Setting: Clinical practice. Participants: Eighty-two patients (41 females) with mechanical Interventions: Patients were randomly assigned to a group or full manipulative who received mid-cervical, manipulations. Measurements: Neck pain intensity...
The same aggressive treatments that have led to a reduction in the breast cancer may also adverse effects on cardiac autonomic balance. objective of this study was compare heart rate variability (HRV) between survivors first year posttreatment and healthy women, controlling for known confounders. This descriptive case-controlled included 22 age- sex-matched controls. Short-term HRV measured using an accepted methodology assess One-way analysis covariance results revealed significantly higher...
