What this Trial Is About
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
