Twenty participants were included in the study (ten LDBR-procedure individuals and ten healthy controls). The research consisted of a DASH (The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand) questionnaire assessment, shoulder area static assessment, shoulder mobility assessment, latissimus dorsi flexibility assessment and shoulder motor control assessment. LDBR-procedure individuals\u2014when compared to healthy controls\u2014exhibited a decrease in physical aspects of quality of life, shoulder area postural alterations, limitations in shoulder mobility and decrease in shoulder motor control. LDBR procedure may have an influence on limiting shoulder active mobility, as well as on decrease of shoulder motor and postural control. Standard functional assessment diversified on motor control assessment of post-mastectomy patients qualified for the LDBR procedure seems to be necessary.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph17082845","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,22]],"date-time":"2020-04-22T04:15:13Z","timestamp":1587528913000},"page":"2845","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Regarding the Necessity of Functional Assessment Including Motor Control Assessment of Post-Mastectomy Patients Qualified for Latissimus Dorsi Breast Reconstruction Procedure\u2014Pilot Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3777-9153","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rita","family":"Hansdorfer-Korzon","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy, Faculty of Health Sciences, Medical University of Gda\u0144sk, D\u0119binki 7, 80-211 Gda\u0144sk, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0115-7686","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Damian","family":"Wnuk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy, Faculty of Health Sciences, Medical University of Gda\u0144sk, D\u0119binki 7, 80-211 Gda\u0144sk, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8396-6633","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jakub","family":"\u0141awnicki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy, Faculty of Health Sciences, Medical University of Gda\u0144sk, D\u0119binki 7, 80-211 Gda\u0144sk, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2918-8938","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maciej","family":"\u015aliwi\u0144ski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy, Faculty of Health Sciences, Medical University of Gda\u0144sk, D\u0119binki 7, 80-211 Gda\u0144sk, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4382-9540","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Agnieszka","family":"Gruszecka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology Informatics and Statistics, Faculty of Health Sciences, Medical University of Gda\u0144sk, Tuwima 15, 80-210 Gda\u0144sk, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"(2017, August 15).
