The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the benefits of a structured occupational/physical therapy program on upper extremity morbidity for patients who have received bilateral breast reconstruction in comparison to a home therapy program and no post-operative therapy. Hypothesis: Patients who engage in therapist-supervised occupational therapy following bilateral breast reconstruction have less upper extremity morbidity than those patients who complete a home therapy program or no therapy program.

Primary | Change in DASH: Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand score | A change in DASH score will be calculated. The DASH: Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (Appendix D) questionnaire will be utilized to measure physical function and symptoms of the upper limbs. The DASH consists of 30-items to be self-reported by the patient: physical function twenty-one (21) items, pain symptoms five (5) items, and emotional and social function four (4) items. The result of the DASH is a numerical disability score ranging from zero to one hundred (0-100), with zero (0) being no disability and one hundred (100) being the most severe disability. | Week 1 and Week 4 |
