Abstract

The limb circumference was measured with time by a three-dimentional measurement system in young female volunteers, and the effects of elastic stockings, leg exercise and limb elevation on edema prevention were studied The leg edema increased gradually from morning to the evening, indicating the importance of edema prevention since morning. Elastic stockings, even with a pressure as low as 8mmHg, were effective on edema prevention. Although leg exercise and limb elevation were also useful for preventing and reducing the leg edema, strong exercise might be necessary to get enough effects.
