Exercise Clinical Trial
Official title:
Target Muscles Training in Patients With Leg Lymphedema : Inspiratory Muscles Versus Calf Muscles
Lymphedema results in the accumulation of protein-rich fluid in the subcutaneous tissue as a result of the failure of the lymphatic system, which returns water and protein in the interstitial spaces to the bloodstream. The aim of its treatment is to return this fluid accumulated in the interstitial space to the venous system. Early diagnosis and subsequent treatment of lymphedema, which is a chronic and progressive problem, is important to improve symptoms and prevent complications. Exercises recommended by specialist physiotherapists increase lymph flow and improve protein resorption. Exercises applied with compression bandages or compression garments provide significant improvement in patients with lymphedema. The aim of this study is to provide inspiratory muscle training and leg compression therapy together with compression therapy in patients with lower extremity lymphedema. To evaluate the effectiveness of these exercises on the patient's extremity volume and fullness, tissue water content, edema status, walking capacity, functionality and quality of life by comparing the effectiveness of muscle exercise training. In addition, researchers aim to determine the more effective exercise method for these patients.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Lymphedema Quality of Life Scale | Evaluates the effect of arm and leg edema on quality of life with separate questionnaires.
It consists of 4 subscales: function, appearance, symptom and mood. The score of each item ranges from 1 to 4 (1 = not at all, 2 = a little, 3 = a lot, 4 = a lot). The score of each scale is calculated by dividing the total score by the number of items and ranges from 1 to 4. It is concluded that the higher the score, the more the quality of life is affected. |
5 minute | |
Primary | Lower Extremity Perimeter Measurement | It will be calculated using the Frustum Formula from circumference measurements taken at 10 cm intervals from the tip of the second toe to the thigh. Patients' affected and unaffected lower extremities will be measured with standard fiberglass. Measurements will be made by the same physiotherapist before and after the 4-week intervention. | 5 minute | |
Secondary | Numerical Rating Scale | Subjective feedback of patients regarding leg fullness associated with lymphedema will be recorded by the scoring method of the affected lower extremity. This scoring will be between 0 and 10. | 5 minute | |
Secondary | 6-Minute Walk Test | It is used to determine walking capacity by measuring the maximum distance an individual can walk in six minutes. | 10minute | |
Secondary | Tissue Dielectric Constant (TDC) | The tissue dielectric constant (TDC) technique gives information about the emergence of lymphedema in the early stages and the change in the amount of water under the skin. | 5 minute |
