Effectivity of unstable shoe in lower limb lymphedema: A follow up of one year

Abstract

Muscle and joint pumps are important lymphatic fluid return enhancing mechanisms. They are influenced by active muscle work and both active and passive kinesiotherapy. Unstable shoes by activating the muscles in the lower limbs take part in the activation of these mechanisms. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of unstable shoes in patients with lower limb lymphedema on volumen and quality of life.
