Descrizione
Inclusion Criteria:
- Female patients aged 40-65 years.
- History of unilateral mastectomy performed at least 2 months prior.

- History of neurological disorders affecting motor function (e.g., stroke, MS).
- Previous shoulder surgery unrelated to mastectomy.
- Active infection or open wounds in the affected limb.
- Already developed frozen shoulder in diabetic patient.
- Severe lymphedema requires intensive medical management.
- Cognitive impairment prevents participation in therapy.

Sperimentale: Active Release Technique
Participants will receive a combination of conventional physiotherapy and Active Release Technique (ART) for 40-60 minutes per session, three times per week, over 6 consecutive weeks.
The conventional physiotherapy includes hot pack therapy for 15 minutes to reduce pain and improve tissue extensibility, followed by 25-30 minutes of exercise therapy.
Exercises target shoulder range of motion (flexion, abduction, external rotation), strengthening of rotator cuff and scapular stabilizers, stretching of pectoralis major and minor, deltoid, biceps, and upper trapezius, and functional tasks such as reaching, lifting, and daily activity simulations.
Exercises start with three repetitions and stretches held for 10-15 seconds, with weekly progression based on patient tolerance.

Comparatore attivo: Visual-Feedback Induced Therapy
Participants in the experimental group 2 will receive the same conventional physiotherapy as the experimental group 1, plus Visual-Feedback Induced Therapy (VFIT) for 40-60 minutes per session, three times per week, for 6 weeks.
VFIT uses mirror during shoulder and upper-limb exercises, allowing patients to observe the unaffected limb performing movements while performing symmetrical movements with the affected limb.
Exercises focus on shoulder flexion, abduction, rotation, and functional reaching tasks, aiming to correct abnormal movement patterns, reduce compensatory strategies, and enhance central motor control.
