  • Effects of physical therapy on fluid mobilization, hemodynamic responses and vascular function in lower limb lymphedema patients [Elektronski vir] : dissertation : academic degree of doctor of medical science
    Brix, Bianca
    Purpose: Lymphedema is characterized by massive tissue swelling due to lymphatic system dysfunction. Complete decongestive therapy (CDT), a three-week physical therapy, consists of manual lymphatic ... drainage (MLD) and tissue compression. It aims at mobilizing lymphatic fluid and at volume reduction. Although lymphatic fluid is known to be returned into the blood stream, it is not yet known how the body copes with the excess fluid mobilized during physical therapy. Therefore, this thesis aimed at investigating the effect of CDT on fluid shifts, hemodynamic responses as well as vascular function systematically over three weeks of CDT and due to MLD.
