“…Only 1 study directly assessed compression garment use during exercise. Singh et al 74 (lI) compared individuals with BCRL performing an episode of moderate load resistance exercise with or without compression (23–32 mmHg). No significant difference ( P = .89) in limb volume was found in either group at 24-hour follow-up.…”

“…Because all level I/II articles reviewed involved some level of compression wear during aerobic and resistive exercise, compression garments may be worn to mitigate risk of exacerbation. According to Singh et al, 74 if an individual did not wear a compression garment while performing moderate load resistive exercise, the risk for short-term exacerbation was likely minimal.…”

Interventions for Breast Cancer–Related Lymphedema: Clinical Practice Guideline From the Academy of Oncologic Physical Therapy of APTA

et al. 2020

A work group from the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) Academy of Oncologic Physical Therapy developed a clinical practice guideline to aid clinicians in identifying interventions for people with breast cancer–related lymphedema, targeting volume reduction, beginning at breast cancer diagnosis and continuing through cancer treatments and survivorship. Following a systematic review of published studies and a structured appraisal process, recommendations were developed to guide physical therapists and other health care clinicians in their intervention selection. Overall, clinical practice recommendations were formulated based on the evidence for each intervention and were assigned a grade based on the strength of the evidence. The evidence for each specific intervention was synthesized and appraised by lymphedema stage, when the information was available. In an effort to make recommendations clinically applicable, they were presented by modality throughout the care trajectory. Methodology and research populations varied significantly across studies, and it will be important for future research to use standardized definitions for participant characteristics, diagnostic criteria, and interventions.

“…Furthermore, Svensson et al (1994) showed that arm venous drainage has some problem in breast cancer survivors with lymphedema (39); thus, stretching exercises may reduce tissue hardness, and trapped lymph fluid (38). surveyed the effect of 12 weeks of exercise training with a compression bandage on lymphedema changes in women with breast cancer (40). They observed compression use during exercise training had no positive or negative effect on breast cancer-related lymphedema.…”

Context: Despite the improvements that have been made in treatment of breast cancer, upper-limb lymphedema is still an unsolved problem in the treatment of women with breast cancer. Upper extremity lymphedema may accompany with decreased in shoulder range of motion and strength, and also pain. Nowadays, exercise training acts as a treatment method to control lymphedema in breast cancer survivors. Therefore, this study reviews the results of the applied studies in this field to survey the influences of exercise training on lymphedema and to determine its related symptoms in women with breast cancer. Data Sources: Literature investigation was conducted on August 1st, 2016 using PUBMED, MEDLINE, CINAHL, and Google Scholar databases. Study Selection: Randomized and nonrandomized controlled trials published in English were included. Twelve trails met inclusion criteria. Data Extraction: Data were extracted in a standardized manner into the predefined table. Then, quality of the studies was evaluated using the guide to community preventive services tool. Conclusions: It can be seen that a few studies have examined the effect of exercise training on lymphedema to conduct a review study. So, lymphedema continues to be a problem for breast cancer survivors. According to most studies, aerobic, resistance and stretching training programs had no influence on the volume and circumference of arm in lymphedema cancer patients, but the training had a noticeable influence on quality of life

“…[37,44] Resistance exercise programs have been shown to have a positive effect on arm function and muscular strength without increasing the arm volume in BCRL patients. [47] Although some small-scale studies have demonstrated an absence of positive and negative effect from compression use during exercise on lymphedema, [48] some authors have suggested the use of pressure garments during exercise. [37,44]…”

Lymphedema is an incurable, debilitating and progressive condition, leading to physical and psychosocial consequences for the patients, if left untreated. The Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PMR) specialist is responsible for the differential diagnosis and evaluation of the patient to tailor management and rehabilitation strategies. Therefore, the PMR specialist must have knowledge and education on the diagnosis of disease and possible complications as well as evaluation, treatment and follow-up of the patient. In this review, the pathophysiology, epidemiology, and diagnostic and therapeutic approaches of lymphedema as well as preventive strategies and follow-up strategies are discussed in the light of the current literature.
