Abstract

Background: Breast cancer survivors may experience upper extremity pain, numbness, limited shoulder range of motion, and a risk of lymphedema, which can cause them to develop kinesiophobia—a fear of movement and avoidance of physical activity. Self-administered questionnaires are increasingly being utilized as an assessment tool in clinical practice and research, serving as standardized techniques for measuring results.
