The total of participants was twenty five women in post-operative breast cancer period of at least six months after the beginning of treatment .

The instrument utilized in the measurements was the fleximeter. The results analyzed by means of the Wilcoxon statistical test revealed statistically significant improvement (p<0,001; =1%).of both measured movements.
