New rehab plan aims to get breast cancer patients moving faster after surgery

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Women aged ≥18 years undergoing breast cancer surgery at Hospital Universitari i Politècnic La Fe and referred to the early postoperative rehabilitation programme through the usual care pathway. * Any type of breast surgery, including breast-conserving surgery and/or mastectomy, with or without reconstruction/prosthesis, and bilateral surgery. * Any type of axillary surgery, including sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) and/or axillary lymph node dissection (ALND). * Patients undergoing surgery for recurrence and/or reoperation, for example margin widening, reoperation due to complications, or reoperation for oncological reasons, provided that it is clinically possible to start the programme. * Ability to understand instructions, complete questionnaires, and sign the informed consent form.- Exclusion Criteria: * Inability to safely start the protocol during the first postoperative weeks due to medical or surgical contraindication, or due to severe clinical complications, for example the need for strict immobilization, specific restrictions, or prolonged hospital admission, according to the criteria of the surgical team or the rehabilitation service, preventing the protocol from being initiated according to the usual care schedule. * Severe pre-existing upper limb condition, unilateral or bilateral, causing significant limitation of mobility or function before surgery and making the interpretation of clinical progression unreliable, for example shoulder arthroplasty, recent fracture, frozen shoulder in the inflammatory phase with severe limitation, or untreated massive rotator cuff tear with marked functional impairment. * Severe neurological or musculoskeletal disease that significantly affects upper limb function and may influence the main outcome variables, for example stroke with major sequelae, spinal cord injury, or severe neuropathy. * Cognitive impairment, severe decompensated psychiatric disorder, or language barrier without available support, preventing the participant from understanding instructions and completing assessments. * Participation in another study that may substantially interfere with the results, according to the investigator's judgment.
