Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The purpose of this study is to conduct a pilot test of "Moving On After Breast Cancer (MOVE-ABC)" - a physical therapy based educational intervention designed to reduce and manage breast cancer-related physical and functional impairments. This pilot test will allow the investigator to determine whether MOVE-ABC is feasible and holds promise for efficacy for delivery after breast cancer treatment has ended just as the breast cancer survivor enters the surveillance for recurrence phase of cancer survivorship. The study team will be recruiting breast cancer survivors who have just finished intent-to-cure treatment and are just about to execute their cancer survivorship plans.

- description
- MOVE-ABC interventional group participants receive usual care plus the MOVE-ABC education instruction and materials. After the participant completes the baseline assessment (T0) and been given the study survey by a research staff member she will receive the following: 1. instructions on the education materials by a research staff member 2. a range of motion wand 3. a small ball 4. MOVE-ABC education booklet and video The intervention group will complete 4 weekly follow-ups with a research staff member over the phone. The follow-ups will be completed in between the T0 (baseline) assessment, and the T1 (1 month after baseline) assessment. The follow-up phone calls are expected to take 20 - 30 minutes each time. During these follow-ups research staff will review material, and answer any questions the participant may have. All documentation of phone calls and questions asked by participants during these reviews will be captured in REDCap.
