Brief Summary:
This study aims to investigate the effects of comparing early versus late referrals for scapular-focused exercise on shoulder function in head and neck cancer patients following neck dissection.
Detailed Description:
This study will recruit 30 head and neck cancer patients with spinal accessory nerve shoulder dysfunction based on the timing of referral, which will be divided into early (within 2 months post-surgery) and late (after 2 months post-surgery) referral groups. Both groups will receive conventional physical therapy (e.g., shoulder joint mobility training, electrical stimulation, or laser therapy for pain relief) and scapular-focused exercises. Scapular-focused exercise primarily targets the trapezius muscle, 60 minutes each session, once a week for 12 weeks.
