Intervention:
Intervention type:
Other
Intervention name:
resistive training
Description:
5 minutes warming up exercise for various parts of the body as moderately energetic
walking.
5 to 10 minutes stretching exercise for (pectorals major, hamstring, hip flexors, and
calf muscles) with each static stretch held for at least 20 seconds in first week and
then 30 seconds for the remaining 5 weeks and this will be repeated about four times.
10 to 15 minutes strengthening exercise by using weights for lower limbs (knee extensors,
hip abductors, and hip extensors) at first session for each patient. Ten repetitions
maximum (10 RM) will be determined, which is the maximal weight can be lifted through the
entire range of motion 10 times.
Arm group label:
kinesotaping group
Arm group label:
resistive training group
Intervention type:
Other
Intervention name:
kinesiotaping
Description:
Tape will be applied to each participant in the treatment group for the sartorius, rectus
femoris, hamstrings, tibialis anterior, fibularis brevis, and the patella bilaterally
using strips of the standard 2-inch Kinesio Tex Tape. The first and last inch of each
strip will be applied without tension. The length of the strip will be applied with a
20%- 25% stretch and downward pressure to the insertion. Each of the sartorius, rectus
femoris, hamstrings, tibialis anterior and fibularis brevis tapings used an I-strip. AY
strip will be utilized for the patellar taping.
Arm group label:
kinesotaping group
Summary:
The purpose of the study will be to investigate the effect of kinesotaping augmented by
resistive exercise on fatigue, muscle strength, and QoL in breast cancer survivors.
Detailed description:
The present study will provide an evidence base to women's health care providers about
the effect of strength training augmented by kinesotaping on fatigue, QoL and muscle
strength in breast cancer women compared to strength training alone
