It has many complications which affects the normal functions of an individual and quality of life. This randomized control trial will be conducted on patients who are admitted as patients after mastectomy to determine the effects of kinesiology taping technique in post mastectomy breast cancer related lymphedema on swelling, upper limb function and strength.
