Correlation of L-Dex Bioimpedance Spectroscopy with Limb Volume and Lymphatic Function in Lymphedema
Abstract
Background: Bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) is an established tool for the measurement of extracellular fluid in lymphedema. This study assesses the validity of BIS measurements using the l-Dex® for evaluating the effectiveness of interventions to treat lymphedema. Measurements are correlated with limb volume, assessment of pitting edema, physiologic measures of lymphatic function, and response to surgical intervention. Three l-Dex BIS metrics …
