Reference list for Aug 2017 ALA presentation: Post Mastectomy Shoulder Dysfunction & Rehabilitation

Some people shop on-line for product. I shop more on-line for journal articles. Nerd! That's me. :) And if you made it to this page, you likely are too! I am so impressed and grateful for the boom research has taken in making strides towards evidence-based practice in breast cancer rehabilitation since I began writing my course 'Rehabilitation for the Breast Cancer Patient' in 2012. 

Please enjoy this reference list of articles pertaining to common shoulder pathologies and compensatory patterns in breast cancer patients as well as therapeutic interventions:
