简要总结
This Study aims to compare the effectiveness of progressive resistance exercise (PRE) combined with lymphatic taping versus PRE combined with compression bandaging in managing lower limb lymphedema in pregnant women. Lymphedema during pregnancy is often caused by hormonal and mechanical changes that lead to fluid retention and swelling, significantly affecting mobility and quality of life. The study will involve 59 pregnant women diagnosed with lymphedema, divided into two groups.
详细描述
Both groups will follow a supervised PRE program, with one group receiving lymphatic kinesio taping and the other receiving compression bandaging as adjunct treatments. Outcomes will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain, Borg scale for exertion, and Disability Rating Index for functional limitations. Data will be collected at baseline, week 4, and week 8.

结局指标
主要结局
visual analog scale (VAS)
时间窗: 6 Month
A visual analog scale (VAS) score is determined by measuring the distance on a line, usually 10 centimeters long, where one end represents "no pain" and the other "worst pain
Disability Rating Index (DRI)
时间窗: 6 Months
The Disability Rating Index (DRI) is a tool used to assess the level of physical disability, with scores ranging from 0 to 100. A score of 0 represents normal function, while 100 indicates complete disability, according to ResearchGate. The Disability Rating Scale (DRS) is another measure, particularly for individuals with traumatic brain injuries, with scores ranging from 0 to 29, where higher scores indicate greater impairment
