Objective: To compare the strength of the middle deltoid muscle by means of dynamometry and the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) in participants in treatment for cancer after the practice of an exergaming protocol. Materials and Methods: We conducted a randomized controlled clinical trial. Thirty-eight voluntary participants were divided into two groups: cancer group (n = 19; age = 61.46 ± 8.79 years; body mass index [BMI] = 28.36 ± 4.94 kg/m3) and control group (n = 19; age = 57.62 ± 7.57 years; BMI = 28.06 ± 3.74 kg/m3), and they participated in the study. All participants performed an exergame protocol by using Xbox 360 Kinect® (Microsoft, Redmond) with the game Your Shape Fitness Evolved 2012 two to three times per week for 20 sessions. They were evaluated through the isometric dynamometer in the middle deltoid muscle and the SPADI at three moments: preintervention (EV1), after 10 sessions (EV2), and after 20 sessions (EV3). Results: The cancer group scored higher on both the disability index, in all three evaluations, and the pain index, in EV2 and EV3, when compared with the control group. There was a significant reduction in the disability score in EV2 and EV3 when compared with EV1 in the cancer group, whereas pain was lower in EV2 and EV3 when compared with EV1 in the control group. There were no significant interevaluation or intergroup differences in the maximal isometric voluntary contraction of the deltoid muscle of both upper limbs. Conclusion: At the end of the exergaming, protocol reduced the disability of the shoulder joint of the cancer group and decreased the differences between the groups for disability and pain scores, without changing isometric force.
