Effect of Telemonitoring on Functionality, Quality of Life and Risk of Lymphedema in Breast Cancer Survivors

The objective of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of telemonitoring in the dysfunctions of the upper limbs in activities of daily living, quality of life and prevention of lymphedema in women undergoing treatment for breast cancer. Secondarily, to analyze the degree of satisfaction in the proposed treatment modality. This is a randomized controlled trial, double blind (evaluator and patient), parallel in three groups (synchronous telemonitoring group, asynchronous telemonitoring group and control group). The protocol will last six weeks, and quality of life, upper limb functionality, and risk of lymphedema will be evaluated. Both intervention groups will be submitted to a kinesiotherapy program three times a week, with synchronous and asynchronous monitoring, while the control group will receive usual post cancer orientations. Kinesiotherapy protocol in synchronous form compared to the usual recommendations in remote form is expected to show superior result in upper limb function and quality of life of women after breast cancer.
