Abstract

This Physiotherapist Manual contains the relevant information to prepare physiotherapists for delivering the PROSPER exercise programme. The main concepts from each chapter will be covered in detail during your PROSPER training. This is your own reference manual with the relevant background information about trial processes and procedures. The trial is run by the Warwick Clinical Trials Unit based at the University of Warwick and is funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) under the Health Technology Assessment (HTA) funding stream. The purpose of the trial is to investigate whether postoperative exercise can improve function and quality of life in women at high risk of developing shoulder problems after breast cancer treatment.
Some physiotherapists will have considerable experience of treating women with breast cancer or treating patients with musculoskeletal shoulder problems. However, not everyone will have the same skill and experience level, therefore this manual has been written to account for differences in background training, skill and clinical expertise.

The aims of this Physiotherapist Manual are:

- To explain the trial design;
- To describe common side effects from breast cancer treatment;
- To provide the research evidence for the PROSPER exercise intervention;
- To describe procedures for the assessment and treatment of PROSPER study participants;
- To describe trial documentation and reporting procedures.

This manual has been produced to ‘standardise’ treatment and to reduce the risk of differences between physiotherapists and centres providing care. For all trial participants referred to your service, we ask that you adhere to the manual. This does not affect the care of non-trial participants, please treat your other patients in your usual way. You may even decide to use some of the approaches within the manual for non-trial patients. Thank you again for taking part in PROSPER. We hope you enjoy reading the manual and we very much look forward to working with you!
