Lymphedema patient need a rehabilitative intervention in two phases : decongestion phase to reduce edema volume , improve the skin extensibility and provide him a better quality of life, followed by the maintenance phase to keep the outcomes. When we use the kinesio tape in addition to the complete decongestive therapy, the patient will experience a better improvement in the edema volume and the skin extensibility within a shorter period of time , a lesser number of sessions and a lower cost. So, the patient will have a better quality of life and could be a productive person in the society.
this study will be designed to investigate the therapeutic benefits of kinesio tape in combination to complete decongestive therapy on limb volume , skin fibrosis, functional capacity ,ankle range of motion, lymphedema associated symptoms (pain, tightness, heaviness and hardness) and quality of life in patients with lower limbs fibrosis post cellulitis ,as well as finding out a physical therapy approach that has positive effect in treatment and care such cases which would enhance the physical therapy field.
