Comprehensive Lower Extremity Lymphedema Management: Day-Night Compression Strategies and Skin Care Tools to Reduce Pain and Halt Disease Progression - Jonathan Moore, DPM

Course Overview

Lower extremity lymphedema is a chronic, progressive condition that can significantly impair mobility, quality of life, and skin integrity if not recognized and managed appropriately. This lecture provides a comprehensive review of evidence-informed strategies for the diagnosis and long-term management of lower extremity lymphedema, with an emphasis on integrated day and night compression therapy. Participants will learn practical approaches to accurate clinical identification and documentation, evaluate innovative daytime compression technologies designed to improve edema control and patient adherence, and explore the role of specialized nighttime compression garments in maintaining therapeutic gains and reducing fibrotic tissue changes. The session will also examine best practices for skin care to minimize complications such as skin breakdown and infection, while reviewing coding, documentation, and reimbursement considerations to support compliant clinical practice.
