The purpose of the study will be to investigate the effect of kinesotaping augmented by resistive exercise on fatigue, muscle strength, and QoL in breast cancer survivors.
The present study will provide an evidence base to women's health care providers about the effect of strength training augmented by kinesotaping on fatigue, QoL and muscle strength in breast cancer women compared to strength training alone

| resistive training | Other | 5 minutes warming up exercise for various parts of the body as moderately energetic walking. 5 to 10 minutes stretching exercise for (pectorals major, hamstring, hip flexors, and calf muscles) with each static stretch held for at least 20 seconds in first week and then 30 seconds for the remaining 5 weeks and this will be repeated about four times. 10 to 15 minutes strengthening exercise by using weights for lower limbs (knee extensors, hip abductors, and hip extensors) at first session for each patient. Ten repetitions maximum (10 RM) will be determined, which is the maximal weight can be lifted through the entire range of motion 10 times. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Assessing the change in fatigue | The Fatigue Severity Scale is a 14-item will be used to measure the severity, frequency and diurnal variation of fatigue, as well as its perceived interference with quality of life. | at baseline and after 12 weeks of intervention |
| Assessing the change in quality of life | By using 36-Item Short Form (SF-36) health survey will be used to assess QoL. The SF-36 questionnaire includes eight multiple-item subscales that evaluate physical function, social functioning, role limitations due to physical problems and role limitations due to emotional problems, mental health, vitality, pain and general health perception. Total score on each SF-36 subscale ranges between 0 and 100. Greater score indicates better QoL | at baseline and after 12 weeks of intervention |
| Assessing the change in muscle strength | Muscle strength will be assessed using dynamometer at starting and after 12 weeks of the treatment course. | at baseline and after 12 weeks of intervention |

| kinesiotaping | Other | Tape will be applied to each participant in the treatment group for the sartorius, rectus femoris, hamstrings, tibialis anterior, fibularis brevis, and the patella bilaterally using strips of the standard 2-inch Kinesio Tex Tape. The first and last inch of each strip will be applied without tension. The length of the strip will be applied with a 20%- 25% stretch and downward pressure to the insertion. Each of the sartorius, rectus femoris, hamstrings, tibialis anterior and fibularis brevis tapings used an I-strip. AY strip will be utilized for the patellar taping. |
