Аннотация
PURPOSE: There is a paucity of research that investigates physical therapy management for patients with axillary web syndrome (AWS) and thoracic rotation dysfunction. The purpose of this case report is to describe the management of a patient with AWS and thoracic rotation dysfunction using an impairment-based approach that includes instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM), thoracic manipulation, and stretching.
CASE DESCRIPTION: The patient was a 48-year-old female with a past medical history of bilateral breast cancer with a bilateral latissimus dorsi flap reconstruction. The patient was referred to physical therapy with chief complaints of right shoulder pain with reaching and an inability to resume running due to right shoulder and scapula pain. The patient was seen in outpatient physical therapy for four visits over four weeks. Treatment consisted of IASTM, thoracic manipulation, stretching exercises, and home exercise program instruction.
OUTCOMES: Upon discharge, the patient had improved right shoulder and thoracic range of motion, decreased pain, and improved function on the patient specific functional scale (PSFS).
CONCLUSION: Utilization of an impairment-based physical therapy approach to treat a patient with AWS and thoracic dysfunction yielded positive outcomes. Further research on the efficacy of IASTM and physical therapy management of AWS is warranted.
