PRevention of Shoulder ProblEms TRial (PROSPER): Exercise to Prevent Shoulder Problems in Patients Undergoing Breast Cancer Treatment

Purpose: Shoulder pain and dysfunction are common in women treated for breast cancer. There is some evidence indicating that exercise is safe and may help to prevent shoulder problems. However, previous trials are of low methodological quality and therefore further research is needed to investigate the clinical effectiveness of exercises for women at high risk of developing shoulder problems.
