简要总结
find out the difference in the effect of kinesio taping and low level laser therapy on 66 patients with post mastectomy lymphedema as regards the following outcomes:
1.girth measurement between the upper limbs 2.) SPADI 3) hand grip strength 4)the quality of life by cancer specific questionnaire.
详细描述
60 females with BCRL will be recruited in this study for 4 weeks , their age ranged from 400 to 55 years old with stege 1,2 lymphedema and randomly divided into 3 equal groups: 2) study group (A) include 20 females with unilateral BCRL will receive kinesio taping plus manual lymphatic drainage , exercise and advices 3) study group (B) include 20 females with unilateral BCRL will receive low level laser therapy plus manual lymphatic drainage , exercise and advices 4) study group (C) include 20 females with unilateral BCRL will receive kinesio taping plus low level laser therapy and manual lymphatic drainage , exercise and advices regards the following outcomes:
1.girth measurement between the upper limbs 2.) SPADI 3) hand grip strength 4)the quality of life by cancer specific questionnaire.

结局指标
主要结局
girth measurment
时间窗: 4 weeks
Measurement of arm circumference is the most commonly used technique for identifying lymphedema and is reliable for both surgical and nonsurgical upper limbs It is measured using a tape with the patient in prone lying position, with elbows straight and arms relaxed at the sides. It was measured starting with 3 cm on the ulnar styloid process and proceeding with 45 cm proximal, and additionally at the metacarpal bones and mid-hand. The tape measure was put around the limb to prevent it from slacking and to ensure that there was no space in the tissue. The total circumference of the sound limb was ascertained similarly. The difference between the 2 measurements was identified using "circumference difference."
handgrip strength
时间窗: 4 weeks
evaluated using a dynamometer ,The grip strength was measured with the patient in a standing position with adducted shoulder, elbow flexed at 90°, and forearm in mid position. The patient was instructed to do 3 trials with 15 seconds rest in between each, and the highest reading was reported
次要结局
- shoulder pain and disability index(4 weeks)
- quality of life questionnaire(4 weeks)
