Edema or swelling of an affected hand is often observed in patients with post-stroke hemiplegia. The incidence of hand edema varies from 9 to 80%, depending on the study’s definitions and measurements [1–3]. One of the causes of hand edema is obstructed venous return . Post-stroke edema has been attributed to impaired functioning of the venous return and lymphatic system as a result of immobility . Persistent hand edema is associated with pain and fibrotic tissue , resulting in an unfavorable effect on hand function. These conditions may even lead to permanent loss of upper limb function. Therefore, the treatment to reduce hand edema is important for maintaining upper limb function in patients with stroke.
