Males with a Standing Profession: Diurnal Volume Changes of the Lower Legs
Conference paper
Abstract
Oedema is one of the first clinical signs of venous insufficiency. Clinically, swelling of the lower legs is present, which gives rise to a tired and heavy feeling in the legs. Slight oedema is difficult to register. In this study an optical leg volume meter was used. We recently described the (intra-individual) reproducibility of measurements obtained with an adapted optical leg volume meter.
