Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Bio-electrical impedance analysis and Tissue Dielectric Constant measurements are objective methods in clinical usage to detect lymphedema in early stage. The aim of this study is to reveal comparative relation these two methods on detecting lymphedema in an early stage.The another aim of this study is to determine impedance ratios and lymphedema index (L-dex) by using bio-electrical impedance analysis in patients after breast cancer surgery.

- Surgery no Lymphedema
- description
- The inclusion criteria for involving the first group is surgery time. No one will be involved into the first group if surgery was applied 18 months ago before enrollment to this study. Measurements will be done at baseline, 6th month and 12th month. Tissue dielectric constant measurement will be applied to upper extremity both affected and unaffected. 6 cm lower point of cubital crease, 8 cm upper point of cubital crease and 10 cm lower point of armpit will be marked on two sides with a soft pen before measurement. Bio impedance Analysis measurement will be done at both side. Self-adhesive electrodes will be applied related side's foot dorsum and hand dorsum. Impedance ratios will be calculated for each side then dividing process is conducted for determining L-dex ratio.

- The second group will contain patients who had breast cancer surgery and having upper extremity lymphedema.Measurements will be done at baseline, 6th month and 12th month. Tissue dielectric constant measurement will be applied to upper extremity both affected and unaffected. 6 cm lower point of cubital crease, 8 cm upper point of cubital crease and 10 cm lower point of armpit will be marked on two sides with a soft pen before measurement. Bio Impedance Analysis measurement will be done at both side. Self-adhesive electrodes will be applied related side's foot dorsum and hand dorsum.Impedance ratios will be calculated for each side then dividing process is conducted for determining L-dex ratio.
