It Will be used a exoskeleton Armeo®Spring, to training to affected upper limb, the protocol of the treatment is constituted for 8 games. The equipment arm will be adjusted the volunteers height, in sitting position, allowing support against the action of gravity of the arm and forearm, supporting 45° of the shoulder flexion, which will be facilitation the member movement.

The software used in this study was developed by the members of the Laboratory of Sensory and Motor Engineering Rehabilitation Together with Federal University of Uberlândia. This virtual reality of projection software, which uses Kinact®, captures the patient's picture and transfers to the monitor. The exercises provided by game are similar to those performed in conventional therapy; however, in a more entertaining form.

Comprised 8 exercises to upper limbs and trunk. The patient should reach the red circle until it becomes green.

The vibration mat used in this study was developed by the members of the Laboratory of Sensory and Motor Engineering Rehabilitation together with mark Vibra Ind. e Com. Prod. Electronics Ltda.

Will participate 20 woman, that stay in supine position, with the enveloped member of the vibration mat, elevated and supported. The volunteer will be submitted to 15 minutes of vibration with frequency of the 40 hertz, in both upper limbs.

Will participate 20 woman, submitted hand cycling through of the adapted bicycle to upper members. The protocol will be comprised by track without obstacle, comprised by 10 turns. The cyclic movement velocity will be realized according to the physical fatigue of patients.

Will participate 20 healthy woman, that won't pass to the treatment physiotherapeutic, only will be collected the electromyography and dynamometer.

Will participate 20 woman, submitted canoeing activates, through rowing realized in therapeutic pool, with the aid and supervision of the therapeutic. It is important highlight that the exercises intensity will be to realized according to the physical fatigue of patients.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects and validate news physiotherapy techniques: robotic rehabilitation, virtual reality, vibration therapy, canoeing and hand cycling in the secondary clinical complications of the breast cancer, through the Biomedical Instrumentation. It will be realized the double-blind longitudinal clinical study. Will participate in the study 100 women post breast cancer surgery, the volunteers will be allocated in the respective modalities treatment; and 20 healthy volunteers, will be only the control group. The volunteers conducted 10 physiotherapy session, and it will be evaluated after, during and before of the treatment, to evaluated myoelectric activity, scapular and hand muscle strength, range of motion, circumference of the upper limbs and quality of life. Expected to Positive Results With regard to the minimization of pain intensity and lymphedema, favoring the improvement of range of motion of the shoulder joint, myoelectric activity, increased muscle strength, and consequently improves the quality of life.

The brest cancer is considered a public health problem worldwide. In Brazil, there was increased survival due to advances in early diagnosis and the therapeutic approaches each more accurate and effective, however these women require care and attention for short and long time, due to the consequences physical and psychosocial, que undertake their quality of life. The innovative techniques physiotherapy treatment can contribute to the prevention and treatment of complications, with the intention to facilitate the early return of women to their daily activities. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects and validate news physiotherapy techniques: robotic rehabilitation, virtual reality, vibration therapy, canoeing and hand cycling in the secondary clinical complications of the breast cancer, through the Biomedical Instrumentation.

The purpose of this pilot study is to determine the safety and feasibility of a daily 3-minute hand-held vibration therapy intervention to reduce the severity of CIPN in the hands. The investigators hypothesize that daily vibration therapy can reduce the severity of patient's CIPN in their hands and improve CIPN-related quality of life. The hope is that results from this study will provide early data on the feasibility, efficacy, and most importantly, safety, of daily 3-minute hand-held vibration therapy needed to justify future clinical trials examining vibration therapy as a potential option for treating CIPN in the future.

Subjects will be instructed to perform 3-minutes of vibration therapy per hand each day using a hand held vibration device for 4 weeks. The amount of time that subjects perform vibration therapy will be recorded on their Daily Compliance form and subjects will complete questionnaires daily and weekly.

Daily Hand-Held Vibration Therapy

Daily Hand-Held Vibration Therapy for the Treatment of Chemotherapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN): A Pilot Study

Compliance with the daily vibration therapy sessions will be evaluated using data from a Daily Compliance Form Researchers will calculate the percentage of sessions that were completed calculated for each participant, on each hand. Participant compliance with the intervention will be considered acceptable if participants complete ≥ 80% of the sessions they were assigned.

percentage of participants who answer "somewhat agree," "agree," or "strongly agree" on the intervention acceptability form

CIPN 20 questionnaire scores will be compared to baseline weekly to identify an increase of 30% during the intervention period. The CIPN scores range from 20 to 80 with 80 being consistent with the most severe neuropathy symptoms

Summary statistics for the weekly CIPN-20 (n, mean, standard deviation, median, minimum, maximum)

Descriptive statistics (frequency and percentage for each category, mean and standard deviation of scores assigned to each category (range: 0-7)) will be used to describe the CIPN-related QOL participants have on each of the three categories related to quality of life
