Identifying predictive motor factors for falls in post-menopausal breast cancer survivors

Abstract: ObjectiveBreast cancer treatment, including radical surgery, is also pursued as late as the 7th - 8th decade of women’s lives. Standard physical rehabilitation procedures offered to those women are predominantly focused on attenuating specific functional deficits of the upper limb and trunk. Seldom do they entail any regimens specifically aimed at recovering overall functionality, and reducing exposure to falls-risk.The study aimed to assess potential interrelationships between the self-reported falls, individ… Show more

“…The most common malignant tumour in women is breast cancer. damage to anatomical structures during surgery may contribute to upper body quadrant dysfunctions [5,6]. disturbances of chest wall muscle balance and the resulting disorders of postural muscle balance may lead to postural defects -deepening of thoracic kyphosis and lumbar lordosis, which may in turn contribute to the occurrence of low back pain [7].…”

“…A disturbed gait pattern Physiother Quart 2018, 26 (4) physiotherapyquarterly.pl may not only limit the efficiency of walking and cause increase in energy expenditure, but also result in secondary, incorrect compensatory reactions that can be fixed [13,14]. Therefore, it is important to take appropriate measures to detect possible functional disorders, which in turn contribute to a greater risk of falls [6], particularly in elderly people [15]. Gait is considered to be one of the most reliable parameters reflecting the patient's overall condition and a factor predicting safe movement in daily life [15].…”
