Outline of Final Research Achievements

Vibratory stimulation to the lower limb lymphedema has been suggested that the reduction of lymphedema is expected. However, it was suggested their edema is not improved only by having introduced the vibration stimulation, how to spend the daily life of the except that has a great influence. Therefore, positive attitude to the self-care of the patient's own is important because they continue to introduce the vibration stimulation in their life. In cases of stage Ⅱb, although there is a temporary, it was confirmed reduction of lymphedema due to the vibration. Therefor, the result of the ultrasound examination, the improvement of tissue fibrosis is unclear. I guess the vibration is likely to have impact on the subcutaneous tissue
