Therapeutic significance of manual lymphatic drainage in lower limbs lipedema
SRBENÁ, Miloslava
This bachelor thesis deals with the issue of lower lipedema and the effect of manual lymphatic drainage and other regimen measures on the treatment of this disease. I have divided the theoretical part into 4 subchapters. The first subchapter introduces the topic of the thesis and discusses the morphology and physiology of the lymphatic system. The second subchapter deals with the anatomy of the lymphatic system. The following subchapter describes lipedema in detail. And the last subchapter in the theoretical part focuses on the treatment of the disease and other interventions. The practical part of the research was done in the form of qualitative research and case studies. I worked with five patients. The patients were under the professional supervision of Mrs. Mgr. Beránková, manual lymphatic drainage was performed once a week for three months and at the same time the probands followed the regimen measures, in which there were some differences in each of them. I evaluated the results by means of input and output kinesiological analysis, in which history, aspection, somatometry, palpation played a pivotal role. The main aim of the bachelor thesis was to analyze the effect of manual lymphatic drainage in patients with lower lipedema. In all probands there was a certain improvement in the physical properties of the skin called elasticity, tension disappeared, the feeling of heaviness, pain was eliminated and somatometric and goniometric examination also showed optimization. Of course, it all depended on the degree of lipedema and strict adherence to the regimen, i.e. dietary steps, training of the correct breathing stereotype, certain physical activity using an exercise unit to support the lymphatic system, compressive underwear, cold water hardening, brushing, gels with a warming or cooling effect.
