Results:- The results showed that the treadmill weight bearing exercises and drug therapy application) had a valuable effects more than application of the drug therapy alone in improving on the bone mineral density (BMD) in cases of osteoporosis in breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. Conclusion: Application of the treadmill weight bearing exercises and drug therapy had fruitful effects more than application of the drug therapy alone in cases of osteoporosis in breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy as evidenced by the highly significant decrease in BMD and T-score mean
