Assessment of lymphatic contractile function following manual lymphatic drainage

Manual Lymphatic drainage works:

“By comparing the pre- MLD lymphatic contractile function against post- MLD lymphatic function, our results show that the average apparent lymph velocity increased in both the symptomatic (+23%) and asymptomatic (+25%) limbs of LE [Lymphedema] subjects and in the control limbs (+28%) of normal subjects."
