Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The aim of this study will evaluate whether an association of elastic stockings and walking for a short period in the late afternoon (5 o'clock p.m.) after work day reduces leg edema. Volume changes of the both legs of sixteen patients (32 limbs), walk continuously on a treadmill for 30 minutes using elastic compression stockings in upper limbs, model 3/4(legs fold up to the knee) and 20-30 mmHg compression. Will be analyzed in a quantitative, cross-sectional study in order of arrival at the clinic. All participants should not use drugs and wear compression stocking during the days. The intervention will be once only after a day’s work in an air conditioned room with a treadmill and apparatus for volumetry. All evaluations will be tracked by researcher. The participants will submit to volumetry initial using the water displacement technique, held in a glass container sealed with silicone and plastic device (tap) water to flow when the leg emerged, the water flow is measured in milliliters. Subsequently required to put on 20/30 made-to-measure compression stockings; the compression will only be used for up to 30 minutes during activity. The patients walk on a treadmill for 30 minutes and after removing the stockings volumetry of the legs will again performed.

The aim of this study will evaluate whether an association of elastic stockings and walking for a short period in the late afternoon (5 o'clock p.m.) after work day reduces leg edema. The evaluation will involve volumetry using the water displacement technique and subsequently required to put on 20/30 made-to-measure compression stockings; the compression will only be used for up to 30 minutes during activity.
Timepoint [1] 259292 0
The primary outcome is to evaluate the volume initial the limbs for volumetry before beginning the proposed activity and assess immediately after a 30 minutes of activity using compression stocking.
