MANIFESTATIONS OF POST-MASTECTOMY SYNDROME, PATHOLOGY OF THE BRACHIAL NEUROVASCULAR BUNDLE IN CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS

Abstract

89 women with post-mastectomy syndrome were examined. The study revealed that the majority (94%) of the examined patients had functional biomechanical and neurovascular disorders after radical antitumor treatment of breast cancer. After surgery, patients were found to have regional postural imbalance of the muscles of the cervical-brachial region, functional blocking of the intervertebral joints in the cervical and thoracic spine, and an atypical motor pattern of "shoulder abduction "and or"shoulder flexion". Instrumental diagnostics revealed violations of peripheral and cerebral hemodynamics, nerve impulse velocity, and temperature distribution on the mastectomy side. The high efficiency of manual therapy in the complex of rehabilitation measures in patients with post-mastectomy syndrome is shown.
