About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of kinetic control exercises on shoulder dysfunction in post-mastectomy.

Read the detailed description

This study holds significant importance for clinical practice, patient care, and research.

  • Clinical Practice: It provides a potential framework for physical therapists to design targeted and effective interventions for shoulder dysfunction in post-mastectomy patients.
  • Patient Care: Improved rehabilitation outcomes can enhance patients' physical functionality, independence, and overall quality of life, addressing a critical gap in post-operative recovery.
  • Research Advancement: By contributing to the limited body of literature on kinetic control in this context, the study can stimulate further research and innovation in rehabilitative care for breast cancer survivors.
Being tested
kinetic Control exercises, traditional treatment

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • kinetic Control exercisesOther

    Kinetic Control exercises consist of 45-minute sessions, with 3 sessions per week for 8 weeks. The framework for testing and rehabilitation includes initial assessment, rehabilitation before failure, and retesting the same position. Biofeedback measures scapular retraction, and biofeedback pressure training assesses and improves scapular stabilizer control by monitoring pressure changes during specific movements.

  • traditional treatmentOther

    traditional therapy inform of stretching and strengthening exercise as shoulder roll, arm circle, wall climb, back climb and hand behind neck. Patients will receive 3 sessions per week for 8 weeks, the time of session is 45 - 60 min according to patient ability

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. assessment of change of range of motion

    Patients will be seated with their affected limb relaxed, and their goniometer will measure their resting position and active range. They will measure shoulder abduction and flexion, which are rarely affected by day-to-day activities, and external shoulder rotation.

    Measured: at baseline and after 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. assessment of ability to maintain controlled shoulder movements while stabilizing the scapular and shoulder

    it is a series of tests to assess kinetic control, including shoulder flexion, scapular retraction, and isometric holds. The tests focus on maintaining consistent pressure, detecting compensatory patterns, and evaluating fatigue. The tests also include a scapular stabilization test and a shoulder flexion stability test, which measure muscle activation patterns and stability.

    Measured: at baseline and after 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing traditional treatment in people with Kinetic Control and Dysfunction, run by Cairo University at 1 site in Egypt.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Jun 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Alaa Tarek Mostafa Elnawawy, physical therapist (+201005730916, alaatarekmostafa@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

assessment of change of range of motion (time frame: at baseline and after 8 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Jun 2025.
