Purpose: to determine the effectiveness of yoga means in improving the range of motion of the upper limb in women with postmastectomy syndrome.
Object and research methods. The object of the study was 50 women with postmastectomy syndrome, the average age of the patients was 57.47±0.53 years. According to the degree of tumor process I, II-a and II-b stages were diagnosed (Т1-2N0-1М0) in women; all patients underwent adjuvant radiation therapy. The following research methods were used in the manuscripts: analysis of literary sources and empirical data; goniometry; methods of mathematical statistics.
Research results: under the influence of the applied yoga means, women of the main group showed a significant improvement in flexion – by 73.28 degrees (p<0.001), extension – by 20.16 degrees (p<0.001), abduction – by 73.08 degrees (p<0.001), internal rotation – by 16.04 degrees (p<0.001) and external rotation – by 17.60 degrees (p<0.001) compared to the initial values on the operated side. The flexion range on the operated side was higher in women of the main group compared to control group by 11.76 degrees (p<0.01), extension – by 13.92 (p<0.001), abduction – by 31.24 degrees (p<0.001), external rotation – by 8.16 degrees (p<0.01), internal rotation – by 4.36 degrees (p<0.05).
Conclusions. The results obtained indicate that yoga is an effective and safe mean for improving the active range of motion in women with postmastectomy syndrome.
