## 5 Conclusions  
This study found some influence of breast implants on kinematic and electromyographic variables in short-term analysis of a healthy and active female population. Specifically, variations were found considering the LS in the one-minute standing position, the UT and LT muscles in the reach phase of the FRT, and the UT muscle in the return phase of the FRT. The participants also showed differences in performance between implant conditions and a slight decrease in subjective perception of effort, comfort, and weight between implant conditions. Although these differences were observed, they did not appear substantial enough to establish a clear negative biomechanical effect. Further research is needed, especially with a diversified sample size and over a longer period, to explore potential long-term effects and other contributing factors, such as type of surgery and scar healing.
