The abstract provides an overview of lymphedema, a chronic and progressive lymphatic disorder that affects millions of people globally. This condition is associated with high costs and comorbidity, with limited treatment options available. Phlebolymphedema, a common form of secondary lymphedema, is linked to the combined effects of lymphatic and chronic venous insufficiencies. Early intervention is crucial to managing the condition; however, early detection remains challenging due to the lack of reliable diagnostic tools. This case study evaluates the clinical utility of a portable tissue analytical tool in a subject with bilateral lower extremity lymphedema undergoing a 60-day self-management program. The study includes details of the subject's profile, the intervention, and the measurements taken with the novel tool. |
