HECHAVARRIA ANDRIAL, Zoila Elena; HERNANDEZ ZAYAS, Marcia Sandra  e  MATURELL LORENZO, Joaquín. Physiotherapy in mastectomized women with physical and functional disorders in the ipsilateral shoulder. MEDISAN [online]. 2013, vol.17, n.10, pp. 6080-6087. ISSN 1029-3019.

A descriptive, longitudinal and prospective study was conducted in 28 women with modified radical mastectomy in order to assess the main ipsilateral shoulder disorders and their response to physiotherapy provided in Comprehensive Rehabilitation Service of "Julián Grimau García" University Polyclinic of Santiago de Cuba from June to November 2011. In the case series 3 patients discontinued treatment. The most frequent complication was the shoulder pain (67.8%), accompanied in many cases by joint limitation and decreased strength of the affected upper limb. Among the therapeutic procedures were postural treatment, kinesitherapy and massage therapy. The response to treatment was successful in 96.2% of patients, since the used techniques and therapeutic procedures were simple and with limited material resources.
