| Research Abstract |
Background ; After lymph node dissection in the upper extremity region breast cancer patients often develop lymphedema. A range of therapies are currently in use internationally (skin care, lymphatic drainage, compression therapy, exercise therapy, pressure point therapy, etc). However, the methods for using complex physical therapy have not as yet been standardized. In order to maximize and measure the effectiveness of these therapies as a predictor for the onset of lymphedema they need to be performed in accordance with a standard procedure.
Results ; The results shown in this research suggest that Complex Physical Therapy can act as a reliable predictor for the onset of lymphedema.
