1 USING AQUATIC EXERCISE WITH THE LYMPHEDEMA PATIENT Combined Section Meeting 2016 Anaheim, CA February 2016 Lynette Jamison, MOT, OTR/L CPO, CLT
2 Course Description & Objectives: The workshop, Using Aquatics with the Lymphedema Patient, will provide the information necessary for a therapist to develop and implement an aquatic treatment plan which will augment a full lymphedema management program. The participants will be provided with the didactic evidence to support the use of an aquatic treatment plan for this patient population. Anatomy, physiology and some possible pathologies of the lymph system will be discussed. Treatment, and after care protocols will be presented including Manual Lymph Drainage, aquatic exercise and use of compression bandages and garments. Specific exercises will be practiced in water. Case studies will be presented. Information regarding specific training for Manual Lymph Drainage and purchasing compression products will be provided. Objectives: Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to: Describe the pathways of the lymph system. Justify using aquatic exercise versus land based exercise using evidenced based information. Develop an aquatic exercise program for a patient with lymphedema to enhance lymph drainage and circulation. I. Introduction and opening discussion II. Types of Lymphedema A. Phlebo-Lymphedema B. Primary Lymphedema C. Secondary Lymphedema D. Lipedema E. Wounds III. Stages of Lymphedema A. Stage 0 The potential of lymphedema B. Stage I The swelling comes and goes C. Stage II Pitting is present D. Stage III Skin is so hard it no longer pits IV. Breast Cancer Related Lymphedema A. Over 2 million women in the United States are breast cancer survivors. The American Cancer Society estimates that 10-15% of these women (200, ,000), although others have proposed an even higher estimate of 30-40% (600,000 to 800,000) women will develop lymphedema over their lifetime. B. Lymphedema may develop weeks, months or years following treatment for breast cancer, it is difficult to accurately determine the exact causes of lymphedema. Long-term studies of women with differing life styles, treatments and backgrounds have not shown a relationship between age, obstructive drainage, number of lymph nodes to which cancer had spread, or weight at diagnosis. C. The foremost reasons why women developed late-onset lymphedema (3 or more years following therapy) are: 1. weight gain following cancer treatment 2. infection 3. injury Petrek, Jeanne, et al.
