Lower Leg Edema Evaluation After Total Knee Arthroplasty Using Bioimpedance

Haute Ecole de Santé Vaud34 enrolled

Overview

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the applicability and measurement properties of bioimpedance spectroscopy for postsurgical edema assessment after total knee arthroplasty

Current measurement techniques of edema are not adapted or not convenient for assessment in the post surgical environment. Developement of a convenient, quick and reliable method could be useful to facilitate edema evaluation in this context.
