Breast cancer on the world stage is a major public health problem and the most common among women or breast cancer. Treatment includes surgery, follow-up of systemic therapies. After surgery, shoulder mobility and performance of activities of daily living are affected. Objective: To validate, test reproducibility and test the Grocery Shelving Tas test (GST) in women undergoing breast cancer surgery. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study of 47 women diagnosed with breast cancer, who underwent an evaluation through the pre and postoperative grocery shelf task test. Results: The mean time in seconds in the first and second preoperative GST test was 59.3 ± 13.00 and 51.44 ± 10.54 seconds respectively, (p = 0.0001) and a strong correlation (r = 0.93; p = 0.0001). No postoperative time or time in seconds was 64.14 ± 13.41 and 60.08 ± 13.31, p = 0.0001 and a correlation of r = 0.94, p = 0.0001. The time of the best preoperative postoperative GST test showed a 16% increase in time. Conclusion: The GST presented a reproducible and reliable test that can be validated to evaluate the functional capacity of the upper limbs in women with breast cancer submitted to surgery.
