University of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences Researchers Have Published New Data on Breast Cancer (Short-term effects of a new resistance exercise approach on physical function during chemotherapy after radical breast cancer surgery: a...).

A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences focused on the impact of a neuromuscular joint facilitation (NJF) method on the physical function of breast cancer patients experiencing shoulder dysfunction during chemotherapy after radical surgery. The study included 162 female patients with unilateral breast cancer who developed shoulder joint mobility disorders during chemotherapy. The patients were divided into three groups: NJF, conventional rehabilitation, and control groups. The results showed that the NJF group experienced significant improvements in shoulder joint mobility, pain, grip strength, and external rotation following surgery. This study suggests that NJF during chemotherapy can have positive clinical intervention effects for breast cancer patients. [Extracted from the article]
