Abstract

In the present paper, the difference in clinical features between arm and leg lympedema and between primary and secondary lymphedema, and the pathogenesis of vulva lymphedema were described, and it was stressed that the treatments for lymphedema should be selected in considerations of pathogenesis and severity of the disease. Furthermore, the clinical significance of exercise under compression was discussed based on the relationship of compression pressure and stiffness.
