Lymphedema is a debilitating complication following
mastectomy, affecting the arm functions and quality of life (QOL)
of breast cancer patients. Studies have shown the beneficial
effects of upper-limb exercises on lymphedema in clinical settings.
However, there is a dearth of evidence regarding the effect
of home-based exercises on lymphedema; therefore, we examined
the effect of a home-based exercise program on lymphedema and
QOL in postmastectomy patients.
