Abstract: Objective: To explore the current research status and development trends in postoperative upper limb rehabilitation for breast cancer, analyze publication volume, major research institutions, key authors, research hotspots, and international collaborations, and provide references for future studies. Methods: A bibliometric approach was employed to systematically analyze literature related to postoperative upper limb rehabilitation for breast cancer published between 2004 and 2024. Visualization tools were used to construct knowledge maps, providing comprehensive insights into publication trends, research hotspots, and key contributors. Results: The study revealed a significant increase in publication volume on postoperative upper limb rehabilitation for breast cancer over the past decade, with notable progress between 2016 and 2022. The research primarily focused on shoulder joint function recovery, lymphedema prevention, and exercise interventions. Research hotspots included exercise therapy, physical therapy, personalized rehabilitation program design, and the application of virtual reality technology. Additionally, the importance of psychological health and social support for postoperative rehabilitation outcomes has gained increasing attention. The United States and China are the primary contributors to this field, with international collaborations becoming more frequent. Conclusion: The field of postoperative upper limb rehabilitation for breast cancer has shown rapid development, with continuous optimization of intervention strategies, technological applications, and interdisciplinary collaborations. This study provides valuable data support and theoretical references for future research directions, facilitating the innovation and implementation of rehabilitation strategies.
