摘要:
Background: Edema in some subjects worsens over time and wraps help to reduce the leg volume.Material and methods: An adjustable compression wrap was tried on volunteers for 5 h and volumes measured in each limb before and after wrapping using a 3D surface scanner (HandySCAN 3D (R)) to estimate the volume of the leg. The contralateral leg was used as control.Results: We observed a significant decrease in volume in the wrap legs and an increase in the control legs (p < .001), both in the lower part of leg (p = .001) and in the upper part (p = .001).Conclusions: Using the Readywrap (R) for 5 hours significantly reduces the leg volume. This study enables Readywrap to be studied in a population that is easy to observe in the context of a research program. The Handyscan3D (R) was shown accurate and reproducible to assess leg volume in future studies.
