- Virtual reality-based exercises, breathing exercises and patient education on general considerations. Virtual reality-based exercises were done using the "Microsoft Xbox 360 Kinect" system. Among the 'Kinect Sports' games, especially tennis, table tennis, boxing and bowling games including upper extremity movements were selected. These games require all-directional and repetitive motion of the shoulder and elbow joint. Patients played the games using the operated / affected side arms. Between games, the patient was rested in a chair. In the meantime, deep breathing exercises were done. The patients participated in virtual reality-based exercises 3 days a week (15-18 sessions in total) during the radiotherapy treatment continued (5-6 weeks). Each exercise session was set to last 30-40 minutes in total.

- Stretching exercises, range of motion exercises, posture exercises, breathing exercises and patient education on general considerations. 11 different exercises consisting of shoulder range of motion in all directions, stretching exercises, posture exercises and breathing exercises were performed in the presence of a physiotherapist.The patients participated in this exercise program 3 days a week (15-18 sessions in total) during the radiotherapy treatment continued (5-6 weeks). One session of the exercises was completed in an average of 30-40 minutes. The same exercises were repeated in each session.
