The purpose of the study is to reveal the characteristics of the rehabilitation of cancer patients who have undergone mastectomy, under the influence of the developed physical rehabilitation methodology. Research methods and organization. The dynamics of the physical condition of women who underwent mastectomy were studied: the volume of the upper limbs was measured to calculate the extent of lymphedema; the range of motion in the shoulder joint (flexion and abduction) was determined using a goniometer; testing was conducted using the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) questionnaire. Measurements were taken before and after the course of physical rehabilitation. Research results and conclusions. It has been proven that the phenomena of post-mastectomy syndrome can be corrected through physical rehabilitation methods, even when conducted at a later stage. Independent engagement in therapeutic physical culture without the intervention of a specialist has limited effectiveness. However, complete recovery through physical rehabilitation is likely not achievable. The pedagogical and andragogical characteristics of adult education allow for independent practice of therapeutic exercises.
