Popis: Age is the main risk factor for developing breast cancer and clinically, older women have a more difficult rehabilitation process. Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of physiotherapy intervention in range of motion (ROM) of shoulder and thermographic map of elderly postoperative treatment of breast cancer. Methods: A total of 10 elderly, undergoing surgery for breast cancer. The evaluation was done before and after the intervention by means of the goniometer for ADM measures and thermographic camera Eletrophysics PV320T, to identify the temperature of the thoracic region. We used the Wilcoxon test and Spearman correlation, with a 0.05 significance level. Results: The patients showed significant improvement in range of all movements of the affected limb, except internal rotation. When comparing the assessment of temperature values with the revaluation, there was an increase in temperature of the thoracic regions, and only significant values preserved breast. By comparing the temperature of the region preserved with compromised in the evaluation, there was a significant difference, since the revaluation, there was an approximation of these values. Conclusion: The correlation between increased temperature and ADM was significant for both members adduction and internal rotation member preserved in the evaluation. Intervention assured resolution or reduction of amendments on physical examination, improved ROM, increased temperature of the thoracic regions, and correlation between temperature increase and ROM bilateral adduction and internal rotation member preserved in the initial evaluation
