Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Randomized clinical trial that will include women aged 18 or older, submitted a curative surgery for breast cancer at Hospital do Câncer III (HCIII-INCA). Patients will be allocated into two groups: Intervention (upper limbs no-limited movement with amplitude above 90º for flexion and abduction of shoulder) and Control (upper limbs limited movement at maximum 90º amplitude flexion and abduction of shoulder, until withdrawal surgical points). Sociodemographic and clinical data will be collected through interviews, questionnaires and electronic and physical records. The outcomes will be incidence of operative wound complications, like edema, joint restraint, winged scapula, pain, axillary web syndrome through the physical examination, performed by the nursing and physiotherapy team throughout the intervention period, ending in the 30-day post-operatory.
