About this trial
The study aims to evaluate the morphological changes of upper trapezius muscle, using B-mode ultrasonography, in patients with oral cancer undergone neck dissection and physiotherapy. It also investigates the relationship between morphological changes and shoulder active range of motion in abduction. Furthermore , the study assesses the potential of B-mode ultrasonography as an objective tool for monitoring outcomes of the rehabilitation in this population.
