Popis: Recently, the utility of the Kinect sensor–based reachable workspace analysis system for measuring upper extremity outcomes of neuromuscular and musculoskeletal diseases has been demonstrated. Here, we investigated its usefulness for assessing upper extremity dysfunction in breast cancer patients. Twenty unilateral breast cancer patients were enrolled. Upper extremity active range of motion was captured by the Kinect sensor, and reachable workspace relative surface areas (RSAs) were obtained. The QuickDASH was completed to assess upper extremity disability. General and breast cancer–specific quality of life (QOL) were assessed by the EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-BR23. The total RSA ratio of the affected and unaffected sides ranges from 0.64 to 1.11. Total RSA was significantly reduced on the affected versus unaffected side (0.659 ± 0.105 vs. 0.762 ± 0.065; p = 0.001). Quadrant 1 and 3 RSAs were significantly reduced (0.135 ± 0.039 vs. 0.183 ± 0.040, p
