Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The aim of our study is to investigate the effect of vibration therapy to be applied to patients undergoing breast cancer surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy on upper extremity joint range of motion, muscle strength, grip strength, pain, functionality, and quality of life.

- Home based exercise group
- description
- Patients who will start radiotherapy after breast cancer surgery will be evaluated prior to treatment. During the radiotherapy process, all of the patients will be included in the home exercise program, 5 days a week, 2 sessions a day, each exercise will be 10x2 repetitions. Exercise follow-up of the patients will be provided with weekly routine face-to-face checks. After an average of 6 weeks of radiotherapy, the initial evaluations will be repeated.

- Patients who will start radiotherapy after breast cancer surgery will be evaluated prior to treatment. During the radiotherapy process, all of the patients will be included in the home exercise program, 5 days a week, 2 sessions a day, each exercise will be 10x2 repetitions. The study group continues their home based exercise, in addition they will receive 30 minutes of Myovolt (Myovolt TM, Myovolt Limited, Christchurch, New Zealand) device which is wearable vibration therapy 2 days a week. The vibration program will continue for 6 weeks, in the form of 2 sessions per week. Intermittent and sinusoidal modes between 20-100 Hz will be used for the vibration frequency.
