Abstract:
Lymphoedema is a chronic disease affecting millions. Standard treatment is Complex Decongestive Therapy (CDT) which entails physical interaction with a therapist to imitate the drainage of the edematous fluid along with training to continue self-care at home. We present a case study of initiating CDT totally online. The result showed that, though totally online lymphoedema care is possible, hurdles do exist. It can be an option to exercise even after the COVID period.

淋巴水肿是一种影响数百万人的慢性疾病。标准治疗是复杂的充血疗法(CDT),它需要与治疗师进行身体互动,以模仿水肿液的引流,并进行培训以继续在家中进行自我护理。我们提出了一个完全在线启动CDT的案例研究。结果表明,虽然完全在线治疗淋巴水肿是可能的,障碍确实存在。即使在COVID期后,也可以选择锻炼。
