摘要: Abstract Background: Tissue dielectric constant (TDC) and spot bioimpedance measurement (BIA) have a role in the assessment of tissue composition changes breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL). Our aims were to determine whether TDC BIA measures could detect inter-limb differences BCRL, explore relationship between methods, establish intra-rater reliability technical error for TDC. Methods Results: Women with (n=20) without (n=4) unilateral BCRL participated. Circumference, TDC, completed on most affected region arm participants at standardized forearm point women lymphedema. All compared measurements from an identical location contralateral arm. The differed significantly unaffected measures. median (IQR) were: extra-small probe 5.75 (3.10–8.21), small 3.50 (1.16–6.89), medium pr...
