“…Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women and it has better survival rates than other cancers (Hayes et al 2005). Lymphedema is defined as a disease that occurs as a result of the accumulation of water, plasma proteins, extravascular fluid, and parenchymal cells in the interstitial space due to the low carrying capacity of the lymphatic system in the report of the International Society of Lymphology (ISL) (Orhan et al 2019).…”

This study aimed to investigate the relationship of hand grip strength on upper extremity functionality, activities of daily living, and physical activity level in female patients with lymphedema who have undergone breast cancer surgery. A total of 15 female patients with a diagnosis of lymphedema associated with breast cancer treatment were included in the study. The presence and severity of lymphedema were determined by circumference measurement. A hand dynamometer was used to evaluate the hand grip strength. Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder and Hand Questionnaire (DASH); Milliken Activities of Daily Living Scale (MAS);and the long form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire(IPAQ) were used to evaluate upper extremity functionality, daily living activity, and physical activity level, respectively. The mean age of the patients was 51±10.6 years. DASH score was significantly related with age (r:0.639; p:0,010). The relationship between the hand grip strength of the affected side and the hand grip strength of the unaffected side was statistically positively significant (r:0.756; p:0.001).It was determined that hand grip strength was related to the total MAS value and the DASH score (r:0.609;p:0.016 and r:-0.624; p:0.013, respectively). The relationship between postoperative lymphedema development time with affected side hand grip strength and total MAS score was statistically significant (r:0.574; p:0.025 and r:0.766; p:0.001, respectively). There were no correlations between IPAQ score and hand grip strength, DASH, and MAS values (p>0.05). Considering these results, we concluded that improving hand grip strength in the early period may increase upper extremity functionality and quality of life for these patients.

ObjectiveTo investigate the impact of Complex Decongestive Therapy (CDT) on the severity of frailty and quality of life in individuals suffering from postmastectomy lymphedema syndrome.MethodsParticipants who met the inclusion criteria were informed about CDT and informed consent was obtained. Edmonton Frailty Scale (EFS), extremity volüme (EV), lymphedema stage(LS), EQ-5D General Quality of Life Scale (EQ-5D-5L), and Quick Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) scores were evaluated by the same physician before and after treatment. A total of 15 sessions of CDT were performed for 3 weeks, five days a week. During the treatment period, hospitalized patients received guidance from a nurse on protecting the affected arm in their daily routine.ResultsEighty patients with breast cancer-related lymphedema who met the inclusion criteria were included in the study. Following a period of 3 weeks of practice and training, the specialist physician conducted the final evaluation and assessments. All patients showed a statistically significant reduction in EV, and regression in LS, EFS, and Quick DASH score (p<0.001). Statistically significant improvement was also observed in quality of life and general health status. (p<0.001).ConclusionThe application of 15 sessions of CDT and educational interventions to women with postmastectomy lymphedema syndrome due to breast cancer yielded positive outcomes. This approach led to an enhancement in patients’ functional capacity, improving their quality of life and a subsequent reduction in the severity of frailty.
