Article Synopsis
- Accurate limb volume measurement is crucial for assessing outcomes in lymphedema microsurgery; the two methods compared are manual tape measurements and Perometer measurements.
- A study with student volunteers and lymphedema practitioners found that Perometer measurements were significantly more accurate than tape measurements, particularly in terms of standard error.
- Experts showed better consistency in measurements than students regardless of the method, leading to the recommendation of Perometer as the more reliable standard for limb volume measurement due to its superior interobserver reliability.
