Abstract:
Although half the world’s population will develop breasts, there is limited research documenting breast structure or motion. Understanding breast structure and motion, however, is imperative for numerous applications, such as breast reconstruction, breast modeling to better diagnose and treat breast pathologies, and designing effective sports bras. To be impactful, future breast biomechanics research needs to fill gaps in our knowledge, particularly related to breast composition and density, and to improve methods to accurately measure the complexities of three-dimensional breast motion. These methods should then be used to investigate breast biomechanics while individuals, who represent the full spectrum of women in the population, participate in a broad range of activities of daily living and recreation.

Abstract:
This paper presents a new method for evaluating 3D breast motion relative to the thorax using a new breast coordinate system. A local virtual origin is defined by four breast boundary points, in a constant relative distance from four bone-fixed thoracic points. The validity and reliability of the method was tested with 11 subjects and confirmed (interclass correlation coefficient = 1.00). The feasibility of the new system was tested with two subjects with pert and ptotic breasts, respectively. Each subject participated in motion experiments whilst treadmill jogging, with and without a sports bra. In the braless motion experiments, the breast movement trajectories of six breast positions resembled a butterfly shape. In a jogging cycle, there was a single anterior and medial peak, and a double peak in the vertical breast displacement. The ptotic breast displacement during jogging was larger and wavy, with a more evident vertical and medial-lateral vibration. It tended to move more medially and anteriorly than the pert breast. The bra trajectories of the subjects wearing sports bras showed that the superior movements of the upper breast need further control. To achieve this, it was proposed that the neckline of the bra should better fit the upper breast boundary.

Abstract:
Abstract Asian women have smaller breast sizes and greater breast density, which suggests specific research on their breast kinematics and biomechanics. To investigate vertical breast displacement of Asian women among exercise modalities (rope skipping, walking, jogging, running) in different support conditions (wearing everyday bra or sports bra), and assess the motion between different parts of the breast, seven participants were selected to participate in this study. Five infrared markers were placed on each of their left breasts, and a three-dimensional motion capture system (NDI Optotrak Investigator) was used to collect the data on vertical breast displacement during walking (5 km/h), jogging (7.5 km/h), running (10 km/h) and rope skipping (2 Hz). No significant difference was found in the vertical displacement of different parts of the breast in the two bra conditions. Also, there was significant difference in vertical breast displacement among rope skipping, jogging and running. Breast size did not significantly affect its vertical displacement. The smaller, denser breast appears to reach a threshold of vertical displacement that is similar at high severities of dynamic exercises (jogging, running and rope skipping). The results might be useful for designing special sports bras for Asian women with small breasts or rope skipping participants to improve the shock absorption function.

Abstract:
AbstractThe buoyant forces of water during aquatic exercise may provide a form of ‘natural’ breast support and help to minimise breast motion and alleviate exercise induced breast pain. Six larger-breasted females performed standing vertical land and water-based jumps, whilst wearing three breast support conditions. Underwater video cameras recorded the motion of the trunk and right breast. Trunk and relative breast kinematics were calculated as well as exercised induced breast pain scores. Key results showed that the swimsuit and sports bra were able to significantly reduce the superioinferior breast range of motion by 0.04 and 0.05 m, respectively, and peak velocity by 0.23 and 0.33 m/s, respectively, during land-based jumping when compared to the bare-breasted condition, but were ineffective at reducing breast kinematics during water-based jumping. Furthermore, the magnitude of the swimsuit superioinferior breast range of motion during water-based jumping was significantly greater than land-based jumping (0.13 m and 0.06 m), yet there were no significant differences in exercise induced breast pain, thus contradicting previously published relationships between these parameters on land. Furthermore, the addition of an external breast support garment was able to reduce breast kinematics on land but not in water, suggesting the swimsuit and sports bras were ineffective and improvements in swimwear breast support garments may help to reduce excessive breast motion during aqua aerobic jumping exercises.

Abstract:
Breast and bra motion research aims to understand how the breasts/bra move to aid development of apparel that minimizes motion. Most previously published research has tracked nipple motion to represent bra motion. However, this method does not provide information regarding regional tissue motion. A more comprehensive approach might facilitate understanding how the entire soft-tissue mass moves during physical activities. This study developed and tested an objective method to comprehensively measure 3-dimensional bra motion, including regional displacement and velocity, displacement phasing, and surface stretch. To test the method, 6 females were fitted with a minimally supportive, seamless bra (small bra n = 3; large bra n = 3). Data were collected as participants ran on a treadmill. Results indicated marker displacement, velocity, link stretch, and link stretch velocities reached as high as 52.6 (6.8) mm, 504.8 (88.7) mm/s, 29.5% (7.1%) of minimum length, and 3.8 (1.0) mm/s/mm, respectively, with the large bra having greater motions compared with the small. Most bra motion occurred above/below the nipple region and at the bra’s strap–body interface, independent of bra size. Importantly, maximum marker displacement and velocity did not occur at the nipple. Measurements obtained from this new method may be important for designing innovative clothing that minimizes bra motion during physical activity.

Abstract:
Abstract Background Over the last two decades, breast cancer remains the main cause of cancer deaths in women. To treat this type of cancer, radiation therapy (RT) has proved to be efficient. RT for breast cancer is, however, challenged by intrafractional motion caused by respiration. The problem is more severe for the left-sided breast cancer due to the proximity to the heart as an organ-at-risk. While particle therapy results in superior dose characteristics than conventional RT, due to the physics of particle interactions in the body, particle therapy is more sensitive to target motion. Conclusions This review highlights current and emerging strategies for the management of intrafractional target motion in breast cancer treatment with an emphasis on particle therapy, as a modern RT technique. There are major challenges associated with transferring real-time motion monitoring technologies from photon to particles beams. Surface imaging would be the dominant imaging modality for real-time intrafractional motion monitoring for breast cancer. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guidance and ultra high dose rate (FLASH)-RT seem to be state-of-the-art approaches to deal with 4D RT for breast cancer.

Abstract:
Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent forms of cancer in the world today. The search for effective treatment and screening methods is a highly active area of research. The Digital Image-based ElastoTomography (DIET) project is a new breast cancer screening system under development, where surface motion from the mechanically actuated breast is measured in 3D, and used as input to an inverse problem solving for breast elasticity. Cancerous lesions appear as high contrast features, being an order of magnitude stiffer than healthy tissue. The 3D motion capture is measured by an array of digital cameras using computer vision techniques. This thesis presents a complete imaging system and algorithms for the capture of 3D breast surface motion. The main components of the 3D motion capture system are the hardware and software image capture system, camera calibration, intra-image feature tracking, and 3D surface and motion reconstruction. Accurate algorithms for each of these components are developed, with a view to future development and potential modifications needed for a clinically-appropriate system. A number of the algorithms developed have potential applications outside of the DIET system. Proof of concept studies demonstrate the viability of the system, with full motion reconstruction being performed on silicone gel phantoms, designed to approximate human soft tissue, in a number of laboratory experiments.

Abstract:
Breast cancer is a major health problem across the globe. Many incidences in the underdeveloped nations go unreported, due to non-availability or lack of access to breast screening programs. Mammography, the current gold standard for breast screening, comes with several inherent limitations in terms of cost, radiation exposure, and associated discomfort. The cost of equipment and personnel alone puts mammography out of reach for most developing nations. Hence, there is a great and growing need for an adjunct breast screening modality, within reach of general masses, especially in the overpopulated, underdeveloped countries. Digital Image Elasto Tomography (DIET) is intended to be a low cost, radiation free, noninvasive and portable breast cancer screening modality that will be accessible to the general population and will encourage more women to undergo breast screening. The DIET imaging concept induces mechanical vibrations into a breast and its surface motion is captured with digital cameras and reconstructed in 3D, for elastic characterization of the breast tissues. Ex-vivo trials and limited in-vivo trials show promise in breast cancer diagnostic evaluation. The current DIET system is, as noted, functional, but not suitable for wide scale screening. There are significant development issues in hardware, software and algorithms required to improve its speed of testing and quality of diagnostic results. The main aim of this thesis is to overcome these issues taking the DIET system from the lab to a more directly useful and usable system. This thesis presents a complete design development and analysis of the DIET clinical system, developing a prototype suitable for large-scale in-vivo trials, to establish the sensitivity and specificity of this novel technology. The major components of this research are development, of the imaging array to capture surface motion, strobe illumination for reliable image capture, actuation system to vibrate the breast harmonically, remote positioning of the actuator, ergonomic design of the imaging device, and the development of a graphical interface for easy operation of the system. Moreover, anthropomorphic silicone breast phantoms suitable for diagnostic evaluation of elastographic imaging modalities, including DIET and MRE are also presented. A new approach in software based DIET diagnosis through separate modal analysis, focusing on the second natural frequency of the breast, is also presented. Finally, the new DIET technology developed is validated ex-vivo, using two different diagnostic techniques. The trials results are positive and demonstrate viability of this new technology for commercialization. All of these aspects have advanced the clinical and technological future of this overall DIET system concept. The overall thesis makes several technical advances necessary to advance the DIET concept from a purely research concept to clinical feasibility. These advances are coupled within an advanced design to create an all new clinical prototype system. The final, validated result shows the clinical potential, both ex-vivo and in-vivo, and clinical feasibility of the DIET concept and this research.

Abstract:
Objective: Full-field Digital Mammography (FFDM) is employed in breast screening for the early detection of breast cancer. High quality, artefact free, diagnostic images are crucial to the accuracy of this process. Unwanted motion during the image acquisition phase and subsequent image blurring is an unfortunate occurrence in some FFDM images. The research detailed in this thesis seeks to understand the impact of motion blur on cancer detection performance in FFDM images using novel software to perform simulation of motion, an observer study to measure the lesion detection performance and physical measures to assess the impact of simulated motion blur on image characteristics of the lesions. Method: Seven observers (15±5 years’ reporting experience) evaluated 248 cases (62 containing malignant masses, 62 containing malignant microcalcifications and 124 normal cases) for three conditions: no motion blur (0.0 mm) and two magnitudes of simulated motion blur (0.7 mm and 1.5 mm). Abnormal cases were biopsy proven. A free-response observer study was conducted to compare lesion detection performance for the three conditions. Equally weighted jackknife alternative free-response receiver operating characteristic (wJAFROC) was used as the figure of merit. A secondary analysis of data was deemed important to simulate ‘double reporting’. In this secondary analysis, six of the observers are combined with the seventh observer to evaluate the impact of combined free-response data for lesion detection and to assess if combined two observers data could reduce the impact of simulated motion blur on detection performance. To compliment this, the physical characteristics of the lesions were obtained under the three conditions in order to assess any change in characteristics of the lesions when blur is present in the image. The impact of simulated motion blur on physical characteristics of malignant masses was assessed using a conspicuity index; for microcalcifications, a new novel metric, known as dispersion index, was used. Results: wJAFROC analysis found a statistically significant difference in lesion detection performance for both masses (F (2,22) = 6.01, P=0.0084) and microcalcifications (F(2,49) = 23.14, P < 0.0001). For both lesion types, the figure of merit reduced as the magnitude of simulated motion blur increased. Statistical differences were found between some of the pairs investigated for the detection of masses (0.0mm v 0.7mm, and 0.0mm v 1.5mm) and all pairs for microcalcifications (0.0 mm v 0.7 mm, 0.0 mm v 1.5 mm, and 0.7 mm v 1.5 mm). No difference was detected between 0.7 mm and 1.5 mm for masses. For combined two observers’ data of masses, there was no statistically significant difference between single and combined free-response data for masses (F(1,6) = 4.04, p=0.1001, -0.031 (-0.070, 0.008) [treatment difference (95% CI)]. For combined data of microcalcifications, there was a statistically significant difference between single and combined free-response data (F(1,6) = 12.28, p=0.0122, -0.056 (-0.095, -0.017) [treatment difference (95% CI)]. Regarding the physical measures of masses, conspicuity index increases as the magnitude of simulated motion blur increases. Statistically significant differences were demonstrated for 0.0–0.7 mm t(22)=-6.158 (p < 0.000); 0.0–1.5 mm t(22)=-6.273 (p < 0.000); and 0.7–1.5 mm (t(22)=-6.231 (p < 0.000). Lesion edge angle decreases as the magnitude of simulated motion blur increases. Statistically significant differences were demonstrated for 0.0–0.7 mm t(22)=3.232 (p < 0.004); for 0.0–1.5 mm t(22)=6.592 (p < 0.000); and 0.7–1.5mm t(22)=2.234 (p < 0.036). For the grey level change there was no statistically significant difference as simulated motion blur increases to 0.7 and then to 1.5mm. For image noise there was a statistically significant difference, where noise reduced as simulated motion blur increased: 0.0–0.7 mm t(22)=22.95 (p < 0.000); 0.0–1.5mm t(22)=24.66 (p < 0.000); 0.7–1.5 mm t(22)=18.11 (p < 0.000). For microcalcifications, simulated motion blur had a negative impact on the ‘dispersion index’. Conclusion: Mathematical simulations of motion blur resulted in a statistically significant reduction in lesion detection performance. This reduction in performance could have implications for clinical practice. Simulated motion blur has a negative impact on the edge angle of breast masses and a negative impact on the image characteristics of microcalcifications. These changes in the image lesion characteristics appear to have a negative effect on the visual identification of breast cancer.

Abstract:
Bröstcancer är en av de vanligaste cancerformerna bland kvinnor, både i Sverige och globalt. Sjukdomen i sig och biverkningar av cytostatikabehandlingen påverkar hälsan och välbefinnandet hos kvinnor med allt från viktökning och smärta till fatigue och depression. Kan fysisk aktivitet leda till gynnsamma effekter hos bröstcancerpatienter under cytostatikabehandling med tanke på att fysisk aktivitet har många positiva hälsoeffekter hos friska personer? Syfte: Att undersöka effekterna av fysiskt aktivitet hos kvinnor som behandlas med cytostatika för bröstcancer. Metod: En litteraturstudie byggd på Polit och Beck (2012) niostegsmodell. Sökningen genomfördes i två databaser; CINAHL och PubMed. Dessa sökningar resulterade i 13 kvantitativa artiklar som sedan sorterades under åtta olika teman. Resultat: Fysisk aktivitet bidrog till att förbättra den fysiska funktionen, självkänslan, humöret, kognitiv funktionen, sömnkvaliteten och livskvaliteten. Fysisk aktivitet under cytostatikabehandling resulterade även en ökning i muskelstyrka och muskelmassa. Fysisk aktivitet hjälpte i stort sätt att behålla kroppsvikt och sammansättning vid basline nivåer, men däremot sågs ingen effekt på bentäthet. Fysik aktivitet visade sig också lindra svåra behandlingsrelaterade symtom som cancerrelaterad fatigue, smärta, illamående och kräkningar, vilket i sin tur ökade patienternas förmåga att slutföra cytostatikabehandling samt förbättrade överlevnaden. Slutsats: Bröstcancerpatienter bör undvika fysisk inaktivitet under cytostatikabehandling. Fysisk aktivitet visade sig ha positiva effekter på den fysiska och psykiska hälsan och välbefinnandet samt symtomlindring och symtomhantering och bidrog därmed till en ökad livskvalitet under cytostatikabehandling hos bröstcancerpatienter.

Abstract:
Respiratory motion during PET acquisition degrades image quality. It is mainly the area around the thorax and abdomen which is affected. External devices do provide respiratory gating solutions but are time-consuming to set up on patients and may not always be available. A data-driven gating (DDG) method based on principal component analysis (PCA) was found to provide a reliable respiratory gating signal, discriminating the need for external gating systems with FDG, but it remains to be investigated how well it performs with other PET tracers. The HER2-targeting radiotracer 68Ga-ABY-025 is currently in phase 3 development and is aimed to develop methods to select breast cancer patients that benefit from HER2-targeted treatment. Hence, absolute quantification is important. Respiratory motion correction will be important for improved quantitative accuracy since many patients have metastases in the lower part of the lungs or the liver.  DDG was applied to PET/CT list mode data retrospectively using quiescent period gating. Gated images were then compared to reconstructions without gating with a matched number of coincidences. Two iterative reconstructions were evaluated, TOF OSEM (3 iterations, 16 subsets, and a 5 mm gaussian postprocessing filter) and TOF BSREM β 400. Images were evaluated for standardized uptake value (SUV) changes for well-defined lesions in thorax and abdomen where respiratory motion is prevalent. Respiratory motion was detected in a mean 2.1 bed positions per examination. DDG application resulted in a mean increase of 12.7% in SUVmax for TOF OSEM reconstruction (p=0.0156).

Abstract:
There has been great interest in recent times in the use of elastography for the characterization of human tissue. Digital Image Elasto-Tomography is a novel breast cancer pre-screening technique under development at the University of Canterbury, which aims to identify and locate stiff areas within the breast that require further investigation using images of the surface motion alone. A calibrated array of five digital cameras is used to capture surface motion of the breast under harmonic actuation. The forward problem, that is the resulting motion for a given mechanical property distribution, is calculated using the Finite Element Method. The inverse problem is to find the mechanical properties which reproduce the measured surface motion through numerical simulation. A reconstruction algorithm is developed using a shape based description to reduce the number of parameters in the inverse problem. A parallel Genetic Algorithm is developed for parameter optimization. A geometric method termed Fitness Function Analysis is shown to improve the inclusion location optimization problem. The ensemble of solutions generated using the Genetic Algorithm is used to produce an optimal and a credible region for inclusion location. Successful single frequency phantom reconstructions are presented. An effective way of combining information from multi-frequency phantom data by examining the characteristics of the measured surface motion using data quality metrics is developed and used to produce improved reconstructions. Results from numerical simulation datasets and a two inclusion phantom used to test the optimization of multiple and ellipsoidal inclusions indicate that although two inclusions can be successfully reconstructed, the single inclusions assumption may suffice even in irregular, heterogeneous cases. This assumption was used to successfully locate the stiffest inclusion in a phantom containing multiple inclusions of differing stiffness based on three multi-frequency datasets. The methods developed in phantoms are applied to three in vivo cases for both single and multi-frequency data with limited success. This thesis builds on previous work undertaken at the University of Canterbury. The original contributions in this work are as follows. A new reconstruction algorithm combining a genetic algorithm with fitness function analysis is developed. The most realistic tissue mimicking phantoms to date are used. An ellipsoidal shape-based description is presented, and applied to the first multi-inclusion reconstructions in DIET. This work presents the first reconstruction using meshes created directly from data using a meshing algorithm developed by Jonas Biehler. A multi-frequency cost function is developed to produce the first multi-frequency and in vivo reconstructions using DIET data.

Abstract:
Many women who have experienced breast cancer (BC) report continued impairments in upper extremity (UE) function beyond the time required for normal healing after surgical treatment. Most research supporting this has not made comparisons between survivors of breast cancer (BCS) to a sample of healthy women. This lack of comparison to a healthy cohort prevents an understanding of whether continued deficits in UE function are due to normal aging or the BC treatment. The purpose of this research was to compare quality of life (QOL) and UE function among long term breast cancer survivors and similar aged women without cancer. Both self-report and objective measurements of UE function were used to create an understanding of UE functional abilities in both populations. Data on self-reported QOL and UE function, ROM, strength, and muscular endurance were collected on 79 healthy women ages 30-69, stratified by decade. Comparisons between decades and between dominant and non-dominant limbs were made. Findings supported no effect of aging on measures, and that dominance does affect some objective measures of motion, strength, and muscular endurance. A group of 42 survivors of breast cancer (BCS) were compared to the data from healthy controls on the same measures. BCS reported lower levels of QOL and UE function, and demonstrated less motion and strength than the healthy cohort, particularly when cancer occurred on the non-dominant limb. The values of the measures, however, are not clinically relevant, and reveal that BCS 6 years after treatment recover UE function to levels similar to healthy controls. In view of a lack of clinically feasible measures of UE muscular endurance, a new test to assess this was designed and implemented: the modified Upper Body Strength and Endurance test (mUBSE). It was believed this new test would be less variable than the Functional Impairment Test – Hand and Neck, Shoulder, Arm – FIT-HaNSA. Seventeen BCS and 17 matched controls were compared on the mUBSE and FIT-HaNSA. Findings were similar for both tests. Furthermore, BCS who are 6 years post BC treatment appear to recover muscular endurance levels to normal ranges.

Resumo: Objetivo: Determinar a associação entre reconstrução mamária imediata após mastectomia radical com a recuperação da amplitude de movimento (ADM) do ombro. Sujeitos e Métodos: Estudo prospectivo do qual participaram 89 mulheres submetidas à mastectomia radical modificada (MRM), 42 destas com reconstrução mamária imediata (MRM+RI). Foram realizadas avaliações pósoperatórias semanais da amplitude de movimento do ombro no transcurso da fisioterapia (4 semanas). Os resultados da amplitude de abdução e flexão do ombro, em graus, do membro superior ipsilateral à cirurgia foram comparados nos grupos em função das variáveis independentes e de controle. Foi aplicado modelo de regressão logística para comparação das características clínicas e epidemiológicas das mulheres nos dois grupos. Foram então calculados médias e desvios-padrão dos valores de flexão e abdução do ombro em função das características clínicas e epidemiológicas. As médias destes valores foram comparadas em modelo multivariado de análise de co-variância. Foram produzidos gráficos de interação levando em consideração o grupo (com ou sem reconstrução) e os valores médios da variação em graus de flexão e abdução nas quatro avaliações. Foi então realizada análise multivariada de variância para medidas repetidas para avaliação dos efeitos do grupo (com ou sem reconstrução) e do tempo na recuperação da ADM de abdução e flexão. Resultados: A maior parte (78%) das reconstruções foi realizada com a técnica de transposição do músculo grande dorsal com inserção de prótese siliconada. A realização de reconstrução mamária imediata não esteve relacionada com maior déficit de flexão ou abdução em qualquer dos momentos estudados. Tabagismo e presença um ou mais cordões linfáticos axilares apresentaram maiores déficits de flexão ao final da série de avaliações (p=0,01, p=0,03, respectivamente). Mulheres com um ou mais cordões linfáticos axilares apresentaram maior déficit de abdução no final da seqüência de avaliações (p=0,03). Houve relação significativamente positiva entre o tempo de pós-operatório e a recuperação da ADM de abdução (p<0,01) e flexão (p<0,01). Mulheres submetidas ou não à reconstrução imediata não diferiram em relação ao tempo e à recuperação da abdução (p=0,85) e flexão (p=0,74). Conclusões: A reconstrução mamária imediata não esteve relacionada com o tempo e com a recuperação da ADM de flexão ou abdução do ombro. Tabagismo e presença de um ou mais cordões linfáticos axilares estiveram negativamente relacionados com o processo de recuperação da flexão ou da abdução do ombro ipsilateral à cirurgia.
Abstract: Objective: To assess the implications of immediate breast reconstruction following radical mastectomy on shoulder range of motion (ROM). Subjects and methods: This was a prospective study on 89 women that underwent modified radical mastectomy (RM), 42 of whom with immediate breast reconstruction (RM+IBR). Postoperative weekly assessments of shoulder ROM were performed for 4 weeks. Flexion and abduction ranges of motion of the shoulder ipsilateral to the affected breast were compared between the study groups. A multivariate logistic regression model was fit to compare the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of the women between the study groups. A multivariate co-variance model was produced to evaluate whether the flexion and abduction capacities were related to the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of the women. Interaction graphics were produced in order to graphically assess whether the recovery of the flexion and abduction capacities was different between the study groups. Finally, a multivariate analysis of variance for repeated measurements was performed in order to assess the group (with or without IBR) and time effects on the recovery of shoulder ROM. Results: Most (78%) of the reconstructive procedures were performed according to the Latissimus Dorsi Flap technique with silicone-gel implant. IBR was not related to the deficit in flexion or abduction of the shoulder at any of the study weekly assessments. Smoking behavior and presence of painful axillary cords were related to a higher deficit in shoulder abduction and flexion (P<0.01). IBR was not related to the time and intensity of the recovery of shoulder abduction (p=0.85) and flexion (p=0.74). Conclusions: IBR was not related to the flexion or abduction capacity of the shoulder. Smoking and the presence of painful axillary cords were negatively associated with the recovery of shoulder ROM after mastectomy.

Abstract:
INTRODUÇÃO: O tratamento do câncer de mama está associado à morbidade do membro superior, com complicações que têm um impacto significante na qualidade de vida das pacientes. O OBJETIVO deste trabalho foi traçar um protocolo de tratamento fisioterapêutico para prevenir as morbidades após cirurgia de câncer de mama. CASUÍSTICA E MÉTODOS: Este estudo avaliou 132 mulheres com a intervenção da fisioterapia em dois momentos: no primeiro pós-operatório (PO) e entre o 10º - 15º dia do PO. Reavaliações foram feitas nos meses 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 e após um ano do PO. RESULTADOS: O grupo de intervenção precoce mostrou uma recuperação mais rápida da amplitude de movimentos e apresentou menor morbidade em relação ao grupo tardio. CONCLUSÃO: O protocolo fisioterapêutico preconizado, tanto precoce quanto tardio, é eficaz. A recuperação da função do membro superior e o menor índice de morbidades mostram que a fisioterapia deve sempre ser instituída nas pacientes que se submetem à cirurgia de câncer de mama.
INTRODUCTION: The breast cancer treatment is always linked with the morbidity of the upper limb with complications that will have an enormous impact in the quality of life of the patients submitted to breast cancer treatment. Objective : the objective of this study was to develop a physiotherapy protocol in order to prevent morbidities after breast cancer treatment METHODS: This study evaluated 132 patients submitted to physiotherapy sessions in two different moments: 1 st day post surgery and at the 10-15 th day . Follow-ups were made on months 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and after a year. RESULTS: The earlier group showed a faster recovery of arm range of motion and had less arm morbidity. CONCLUSÃO: O RESULTS: G1 showed a faster flexion and abduction ROM recovery and had less morbidity as compared to the other group. The arm circumferences in the early intervention group had lower values as compared to the late intervention group. CONCLUSION: The physiotherapy protocol used in the study showed its efficacy. The upper arm ROM was recovered and both groups had less arm morbidity.

Abstract:
The on-vehicle automation system is primarily designed to replace the human driver during driving to enhance the performance and avoid possible fatalities. However, current implementations in automated vehicles (AVs) generally neglect that human imperfection and preference do not always lead to negative consequences, which prevents achieving optimized vehicle performance and maximized road safety. Human-like Decision-making and Control for Automated Driving will take one step forward to address unsettled technologies in human-like automated driving to break through the limitation for future vehicle automation application existing methods and emerging technologies in Human driving feature modeling and analysis Personalized motion control for AVs Human-like decision making for AVs
