Official Title: Comparison Of The Efficiency Of High Intensity And Low Intensity Resistive Exercises In Patient With Upper Extremity Lymphedema
Brief Summary: Lymphedema results from impaired lymphatic transport with increased limb volume. The results of systematic reviews indicate that breast cancer survivors can perform resistance exercise training at high-enough intensities to elicit strength gains without triggering changes to lymphedema status. There is strong evidence indicating that ret produces significant gains in muscular strength without provoking breast cancer-related lymphedema. On the one hand, the literature studies say future exercise programs will have to be evaluated in detail regarding intensity, volume, duration, frequency, and exercised muscle group. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of upper body resistance exercise on the arm circumference, grip strength, pain, musculoskeletal disorders of the upper limbs, self-reported lymphedema symptoms, pinch strength, lymphedema functioning, disability, and health questionnaire/lymph-?cf patient with upper extremity lymphedema and to compare these effects between resistance exercise involving high and low loads (heavier vs lighter weights).
