Conditions
Summary
Post-mastectomy lymphedema is one of the most common chronic complications that significantly impacts patients' quality of life following breast cancer surgery. postural stability is maintained through the intricate integration of muscular forces, sensory input from mechanoreceptors, and biomechanical feedback. closed kinetic chain (CKC) exercises play a crucial role in enhancing musculoskeletal stability by countering gravitational forces during both rest and movement. weight shifting and balance are fundamental components of functional movement. Proprioceptive training, which focuses on improving body awareness and balance, is essential for developing trunk control

Interventions
Closed kinetic chain (CKC) exercises emphasize weight-bearing movements where the distal segment of the extremity is fixed, and motion occurs as the proximal segment moves over the stabilized distal segment.
Weight-shifting is a crucial aspect of dynamic postural control, which refers to the ability to maintain one's bodyweight within the base of support. Lateral weight-shifting, in particular, is essential for maintaining posture under dynamic conditions and is commonly performed in various activities of daily living
CDT includes (skin care, manual lymphatic drainage, compression bandages, compression garments and exercises).
