The ULIFT could be a valid and reliable test to assess upper limb functionality in patients submitted to breast cancer surgery.Implications for rehabilitationThe ULIFT is a reliable and valid test to assess upper limb function in women after breast cancer surgery, considering specifically the lifting and range of motion construct of unilateral upper limb function.The ULIFT could help identify those most at risk of developing upper limb dysfunction after breast cancer surgery and could benefit the follow-up of a postoperative rehabilitation program.Two ULIFTs should be performed in order to achieve patient's best performance.
