Abstract

Mastectomy is one of the widely spread surgeries to remove breast cancer, however, this type of intervention disturbs the ventilatory function of the patient after surgery. The role of physical therapy is crucial in such cases as to improve the function of the respiratory system, and chest expansion, decrease the severity of dyspnea, and provide better health after mastectomy. Purpose: to study the effect of respiratory muscle training by using (The Breather) on ventilatory functions in women after mastectomy. Objectives: 40 women with unilateral post-mastectomy were randomly selected from Baheya Center with an age range from (40-50) years old. (Received radiotherapy /chemotherapy and physical therapy sessions), divided into 2 equal groups (each group=20). Methodology: Group A received respiratory muscle training with the breather device with physical therapy rehabilitation and Group B received physical therapy rehabilitation only. Both groups received sessions twice weekly for 12 weeks. Equipment used for evaluation: ventilatory function measuring device (Spirometer) used to measure ventilatory function (FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC, MVV), Tape measurement used to measure chest expansion, and Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy - Dyspnea-10 item (FACIT-Dyspnea) Questionnaire.
