Arm circumference: |
To measure the arm circumference, the patient lays in a prone position with their arms relaxed by the side of the body. A measuring tape is used to take the measurement. It was measured starting with 3 cm on the ulnar styloid process and proceeding with 45 cm proximal, and additionally at the metacarpal bones and midhand. For an accurate reading, the tape was snugly wrapped around the arm. The measurements were recorded for both the affected and unaffected arms, and the difference between the two measurements was then recorded under the title "circumference difference" |

Functional disability - SPADI |
It is a tool to measure shoulder pain and disability. It consists of 13 criterias to assess pain and disabilty: 5 criterias assess pain and 8 assess disability. The reliability of its coefficients is ICC =0.89 and has shown high internal consistency. |

Handgrip strength |
a handheld dynamometer (78010, Lafayette Instrument Company, Loughboroug, Leics, England) was used to measure the hand grip strength. To record the hand grip strength, the patient is positioned in the standing position with their shoulder adducted, elbows flexed at an angle of 90 degrees with the forearm in mid position. The patient is asked to grip the device to the maximum of his capacity, the average of 3 readings are recorded. |

QOL |
The was assessed by cancer-specific questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30). It is composed of 30 questions, including functional scores (physical, social, emotional, and cognitive aspects). The functional scores ranged between 0 and 100, and higher scores indicated better condition. This questionnaire also included symptoms score (pain, dyspnea, fatigue, insomnia, nausea, loss of appetite, and financial problems). The symptom scores ranged from 100 to 0, and lower scores indicated better condition. |
