Effective Method for Lymphoedema Detection

Onsite SOZO L-Dex Measurement

Our research-based exercise prescriptions during treatment are carefully curated, taking into account a multitude of factors to provide you with the most effective support. These factors include:

The Significance of L-Dex Scores

An L-dex score is a critical tool used to assess limb volume and identify subclinical lymphoedema. This early detection stage is crucial for implementing appropriate treatments to prevent further progression.

Identifying the At-Risk Individuals

Individuals at risk of developing cancer-related lymphoedema are typically those who have undergone lymph node removal surgery, received radiation therapy, or been treated with taxane-based chemotherapy. 

The Power of Regular Monitoring

Consistent monitoring and surveillance play a pivotal role in maintaining the health of at-risk patients. L-Dex readings enable the identification of volume changes even before they become visually apparent. Early intervention is the key to effective management.
