Baduanjin Exercise on Upper Limb Dysfunction Among Breast Cancer Survivors

To evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of Baduanjin exercise on upper limb dysfunction (ULD), shoulder range of motion (ROM), pain, sleep quality, depression and anxiety, and quality of life (QoL) in breast cancer survivors. The objectives of this study are to: 1. Develop an evidence-based Badunajin exercise intervention protocol for managing ULD among breast cancer survivors ; 2. Design and conduct a pilot Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT) using the Buduanjin exercise intervention protocol to manage the ULD; 3. Test the feasibility and acceptability of the Baduanjin exercise intervention and RCT procedures by the recruitment rate, retention rate, and attrition rate during the pilot RCT; 4. Evaluate the safety, efficacy, and acceptability of the Baduanjin exercise intervention by identifying potential adverse effects associated with the Baduanjin exercise intervention; 5. Examine the potential effects of Baduanjin exercise intervention on ULD, shoulder ROM, pain, sleep quality, depression and anxiety, as well as QoL among breast cancer survivors; 6. Explore the participants' experience and suggestions for the Baduanjin exercise intervention and study procedures; and 7. Provide evidence for refinement of the Baduanjin exercise intervention for a multi-center, full-scale RCT among breast cancer survivors.
