This week on FOX Rehabilitation’s Live Better Longer podcast, we are joined by FOX physical therapist and lymphedema therapist, Elizabeth Garfield, PT, CLT, who explores the factors that contribute to lower extremity swelling, edema, and lymphedema in older adult patients. 

Elizabeth explains what a clinician can do to treat lymphedemas, such as improving ankle mobility to reduce falls, using compression garments, and decreasing the risk of developing wounds and infections. She also discusses evaluation techniques like the Stemmer Sign and gives examples of how to set simple goals for your patients.
