Background/Objectives:Breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) is a chronic disease with lasting effects, making it one of the most feared sequelae of breast cancer with significant personal and social impacts. Therapeutic exercises play a fundamental role in its treatment. This systematic review aims to provide the most up-to-date findings on the impact of physical exercise on the management of BCRL.Methods:Following the PRISMA statement guidelines, searches were conducted in the Web of Science, Scopus, and Science Direct databases.Results:Sixteen studies published between 2019 and 2024 were analyzed in detail. The combination of strength and aerobic exercises emerged as an effective strategy for both the treatment and prevention of lymphedema, also highlighting the innovative potential of virtual reality.Conclusions:It is essential to emphasize tailoring exercise programs to each patient individually. Additionally, the promising role of thermography as a non-invasive and safe tool for evaluating lymphedema progress is underscored.
背景/目的:乳腺癌相关淋巴水肿(BCRL)是一种具有持久影响的慢性疾病,是乳腺癌最令人恐惧的后遗症之一,对个人和社会均产生重大影响。运动疗法在其治疗中发挥着基础性作用。本系统综述旨在提供关于体育锻炼对BCRL管理影响的最新研究结果。 方法:遵循PRISMA声明指南,在Web of Science、Scopus和Science Direct数据库中进行检索。 结果:详细分析了2019年至2024年间发表的16项研究。力量训练与有氧运动相结合的策略在淋巴水肿的治疗和预防方面均显示出有效性,同时也凸显了虚拟现实技术的创新潜力。 结论:必须强调根据患者个体情况量身定制运动方案的重要性。此外,热成像技术作为一种无创、安全的淋巴水肿进展评估工具,其应用前景值得关注。
