Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study will address the female patients who are exposed to surgery after breast cancer. strength training for the inspiratory muscles will be applied in addition to the traditional care including physical therapy that will be compared to the effect of the traditional care alone on multiple outcome measures such as muscle strength, function, fatigue, and stress.

- description
- Inspiratory muscle training will be conducted using a pressure threshold loading device (Threshold Inspiratory Muscle Training, Respironics, Pittsburg, PA, USA). Using a spring-loaded one-way valve, this device provides air flow-independent resistance to inspiration at a detectable intensity. Patients will start training with a maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) of 40%. The training intensity will be adjusted every week based on the MIP measurement.
