(Text)
The progressive course of lymphedema can only be effectively stopped through consistent application of physical decongestive interventions. Out-patient edema management as part of physical therapy is especially challenging for lymph drainage therapists. This manual offers a whole range of practical solutions for all areas of treatment. In order to effectively manage lymphedema, edema due to chronic venous insufficiency and post-traumatic edema, the correct use and competent implementation of the various individual measures and intensive and ongoing compliance on the part of the patient is indispensable. With its clear pictures and concise instructions, this user-oriented book written by practitioners for practitioners illustrates the concept for diagnosis and treatment put forward by experienced specialists in this area in a compact and impressive manner. The second German edition has been completely revised and updated and includes even more essential tips for quality management, special bandaging techniques and compression garment measurement. While the book has proven its worth for years in the training of lymph drainage therapists, it is just as valuable as a reference work for interested physicians, compression garment experts and patients. The English edition is a further update and enlargement of its German counterpart.
