Development of a Clinical Screening, Diagnostic and Evaluation Tool for Patients With Lower Limb Lymphedema: Aim 1

Of all of the different measurement methods that are currently available for use in clinical practice for assessing the same lymphedema characteristic (for example water displacement versus perimetry, both assessing swelling) or different lymphedema characteristics (for example water content in the skin versus hardness of the skin versus thickness of the skin), a clear overview about the reliability, concurrent validity (if applicable) and clinical feasibility is missing for the assessment of lower limb lymphedema (LLL). The objective of this observational cross-sectional study is to investigate the (day-to-day) reliability and clinical feasibility of currently applied measurement tools in patients with LLL.
