Breast cancer is a disease that mainly affects women and can have a negative impact on their quality of life. Mastectomy, as part of the treatment, can lead to limitations in shoulder mobility. In this context, therapeutic exercise is presented as an important intervention to improve joint mobility and quality of life and facilitate the recovery of patients. Therefore, the aim of this systematic review is to describe the effects of therapeutic exercise on shoulder joint mobility in post-mastectomy patients. Following the PRISMA model, we searched databases such as PubMed and Cochrane Library for information from the last 5 years using MeSH terms. We included studies published in English or Spanish; controlled trials and randomized controlled trials (RCTs); Applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, 16 articles investigating shoulder exercise and mobility in post-mastectomy patients were selected. A positive trend was observed in most of the studies analyzed, demonstrating significant benefits of therapeutic exercise in shoulder joint mobility, mainly in flexion, extension and abduction movements. The results indicate that rehabilitation programs, which include various exercise modalities, significantly improve range of motion in patients, regardless of the duration of interventions.
