- Abstract
Lymphedema is a condition that may occur after cancer treatment as lymph nodes are removed. Now, intervention and medication for patients with early lymphedema will effectively alleviate pain and delay or hinder the progression of lymphedema. The limb volume estimation oversleeve was designed according to the system of drainage volume and the measurement procedure. In this analysis, a limb measuring oversleeve for lymphedema is investigated to determine its effectiveness in avoiding the risk of infection while still being easy to use and closer to the outcome of limb volume measurement. To test the accuracy of oversleeve measuring limb volume (OMLV), 82 average people were tested using the drainage volume method (LV) and the oversleeve measuring limb volume (OMLV). The oversleeve measuring limb volume (OMLV) procedure was compared to 41 lymphedema patients diagnosed with a circum diameter method (CDM). In comparison with early lymphedema, drainage volume diagnosis (LV) was performed on the discrepancy between oversleeve measuring limb volume (OMLV) and circum diameter method (CDM). There was no statistically important variation in the regular population between the sleeve method and the drainage volume (P = 0.67). The oversleeve measuring limb volume (OMLV) approach meets the diagnosis criterion of all patients with circum diameter method (CDM) diagnosed lymphedema. The oversleeve measuring limb volume (OMLV) diagnosis was slightly higher in patients with drainage volume method (LV) diagnosed early lymphedema than CDM (P = 0.005).
