Design and Evaluation of the Effects of a Physical Therapy Program With Digital Support in Patients With Breast Cancer

"Patients will be treated using a physiotherapy programme without digital support. A written document with exercises and recommendations will be given to them on the first day. This booklet will detail the exercises they can do depending on their surgery and the weeks elapsed, as well as the recommendations adapted according to the needs identified in the motivational interview (MI). This is the treatment that is currently being applied in the hospital.~The patient will carry out the treatment at home and will come back after 20 sessions for the corresponding assessment."

"A digitally supported physiotherapy programme including:~* Group session: expectations, interests, experiences with regard to their health problem and the consequences on their life, joint exercise and discussion with subsequent debate will be held.~* Exercise session: each week, patients will find different exercise videos on the platform according to the phase of recovery in which each one of them is, having been previously evaluated in the group session.~* Relaxation session: this will be carried out by means of audio that will be posted on the platform and that the patient will be able to perform simultaneously.~* Empowerment session: audio sessions that will deal with those needs that frequently arise after breast surgery in their daily lives, focusing on limiting beliefs (e.g. fear of moving), positive thoughts and information extracted from the motivational interview that should be developed."
