Factors affecting shoulder joint range of motion after breast cancer surgery: a retrospective cohort study in Japan
Over 80% of participants had reduced shoulder ROM 1 month after surgery, even after inpatient rehabilitation. We identified age, number of nodes removed, and total mastectomy as risk factors for reduced shoulder ROM, providing useful prognostic information regarding the restriction of passive shoulder ROM after breast cancer surgery.
