Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of digital physiotherapy via Trak telerehabilitation with conventional home-based exercises in women who have undergone axillary lymph node removal (axillary lymphadenectomy) as part of breast cancer treatment. Researchers will compare the Trak telerehabilitation platform to a standard home exercise protocol to assess the impact on shoulder mobility, treatment adherence, and overall patient satisfaction. Participants will undergo a 4-week home-based rehabilitation using Trak (treatment group) or follow a paper-based exercise protocol (control group) and attend follow-up visits to measure shoulder mobility and any necessary adjustments in treatment.
