1
Q
Effects of compression.
A
- reduce filtration
- increase reabsorption
- improve efficiency of jt mm pump
- prevent re-accumulation of lymph fluid
- increase tissue pressure
- compensated for elastic insufficiency of affected tissue
- breakdown scar tissue
2
Q
Effects of decongestive exercise.
A
- improve lymph transport
- improve venous return
- optimize jt mm pump
- increase lymphangiomotoricity
- diaphragmatic breathing increases fluid return to venous angle via thoracic duct
- bandages worn during exercise increase external TP
3
Q
How do venous insufficiencies affect lymphatic system?
A
Decrease venous return - increase BCP - increase filtration - increase net-filtrate
