Abstract
Background : Adhesive capsulitis occurs frequently in patients after breast cancer surgery (BCS) and makes shoulder pain which decreases the quality of life in survivors. The mechanisms are reported as surgery itself, postoperative shoulder motion limitation, and radiotherapy. Usually patients are recommended by painful range of motion (ROM) exercise. However, this exercise provokes severe pain which makes a failure to proceed the exercise. Recently, hydraulic distension (HD) has been adapted to treatment the adhesive capsulitis in older people and good outcomes are reported. The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of hydraulic expansion on patients who underwent breast cancer surgery and to characterize the biomechanical properties of their glenohumeral joint capsules.
