Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the therapeutic efficacy of aerobic exercise and incentive spirometer on lung volumes post mastectomy. Forty Five female patients underwent mastectomy surgery with ages from 40 - 60 years were selected randomly and divided into three equal groups in number; each group contains 15 patients. Patients in group (A): managed with aerobic training in form of treadmill and incentive spirometer in addition to breathing exercises, while patients in group (B): managed with incentive spirometer in addition to breathing exercises, while patients in group (C): managed with aerobic training in the form of treadmill in addition to breathing exercises. All patients were evaluated by electronic spirometer through the study to measure lung volumes (FVC, FEV₁, FEV₁ / FVC) post mastectomy pretreatment and after one month of treatment
