Interventions

OTHERAmerican Cancer Society

After taking base line readings the patients will be divided into two groups' experimental group and control group by randomization. The experimental group will receive tele rehabilitation and the control group will receive outpatient rehabilitation. Readings will be taken at the end of every week. The treatment plan of both groups will be the same according to the exercise plan given by American Cancer Society guidelines for breast cancer patients. The exercise plan will start on third day of surgery. A pictorial reference will be given to every patient to perform exercise. The exercise session will be thrice a week, for 60 min, and for four consecutive weeks, for 12 sessions. Exercise plan consists of three phases: warm up, balance exercise ,cool down
