Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The proposed study will compare the effect of an application of non-immersive virtual reality (VR) and conventional physical therapy (CPT) with and without lifestyle changes on upper limb dysfunction in breast cancer survivors, post-surgery. The purpose of this proposed RCT is to compare the effect of VR alone/in conjunction with lifestyle changes to that of CPT alone/in conjunction with lifestyle changes for the physical rehabilitation of female breast cancer survivors. Research will be conducted on 60 patients. This research employs parallel, randomized clinical trial design, which shall be conducted in NORI hospital, Shifa International Hospital and Kinifit physiotherapy in Islamabad/Rawalpindi over a period of 18 months. Thus, the type of sampling done in this study is purposive sampling.
