Lower Leg Edema Evaluation After Total Knee Arthroplasty Using Bioimpedance
Not Applicable
Completed
- Conditions
- Edema
- Registration Number
- NCT00627770
- Lead Sponsor
- Haute Ecole de Santé Vaud
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the applicability and measurement properties of bioimpedance spectroscopy for postsurgical edema assessment after total knee arthroplasty
- Detailed Description
Current measurement techniques of edema are not adapted or not convenient for assessment in the post surgical environment. Developement of a convenient, quick and reliable method could be useful to facilitate edema evaluation in this context.
