Single-Case-Design Study of Finger-to-Axilla Compression Bandaging for Edema of the Hemiplegic Upper Limb / Louise Gustafsson in American Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 70/2 (mars-avril 2016)

Public ISBD [article]  inAmerican Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 70/2 (mars-avril 2016) Titre : Single-Case-Design Study of Finger-to-Axilla Compression Bandaging for Edema of the Hemiplegic Upper Limb Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Louise Gustafsson ; Jessica LUNNON ; et al. ; Melanie HOYLE Année de publication : 2016 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Ergothérapie  Oedème  Bandage  Membre supérieur  Hémiplégie Résumé : OBJECTIVE. This single-case study investigated the effectiveness of compression bandaging from the finger to the axilla in reducing poststroke edema in the upper limb. METHOD. Repeated circumferential measurements were recorded at five points along the participants’ hand and forearm. Analysis of the data included the generation of graphs, celeration lines, and visual analysis. RESULTS. Five participants with edema (mean 38 days poststroke) were recruited to the study. Fluctuations in edema were observed in all three study phases, with an increasing to decreasing trend in edema between the baseline and intervention phases. There was no clear trend from the intervention to second baseline phase. CONCLUSION. Bandaging from the fingers to the axilla appears to be effective in reducing edema in the hand and forearm. However, return of edema after removal of the bandaging suggest that a greater understanding of underlying mechanisms and the appropriate intervention protocols is warranted.
