Lymphoedema is managed most successfully when advice and treatment
are provided at an early stage of its development. This book
provides all the necessary knowledge and the skills required to
identify risk factors for the development of the disease and to
equip the health care professional in providing the best advice to
the patient.
As well as examining the physical signs and symptoms of
lymphoedema, the book explores the different types of lymphoedema
and reasons for its development. It includes a framework for the
assessment of the person with lymphoedema, addresses skin care,
compression, and the role of exercise and movement in lymphoedema
management. It also examines potential complications of the
condition and possible effects upon a patient's lifestyle.
Lymphoedema Care is an invaluable resource for students, nurses and
other health professionals wishing to understand more about
