Effectiveness of Emerging Technologies in Physiotherapy for Women with Breast Cancer: A Systematic Review
: Technology-assisted physiotherapy interventions may support functional recovery and improve quality of life among women with breast cancer. However, the available evidence remains limited, with important methodological constraints, as improvements were predominantly observed within groups, while consistent between-group differences were not demonstrated. Therefore, the comparative effectiveness of these interventions over standard rehabilitation remains inconclusive, highlighting the need for further high-quality randomized controlled trials.
