Rehabilitación fisioterapéutica del linfedema del adulto mediante drenaje linfático manual o kinesiotape

This research exposes the physiotherapeutic treatment in adult lymphedema, with the use of manual lymphatic drainage (DLM) techniques and the neuromuscular bandage or Kinesio-tape (KT). Lymphedema is the increase of lymph in the interstitial space due to poor lymph node formation, impaired lymphatic functioning, lymph node dissection, hereditary, among others. Lymphedema can be primary or secondary , for this, manual lymphatic drainage is used, which consists in the use of the physiotherapist's hands through movements that will lead the lymph to healthy vessels to flow into them, allowing proper lymphatic circulation, while the Neuromuscular bandage or kinesiotape, which was developed by Kenzo Kase in 1973, which consists of an adhesive tape for therapeutic purposes that elevate the skin, and in this way the epidermis and dermis are mobilized, for the passage of lymph. This research work consists of scientific material to demonstrate which of the two techniques mentioned above have better results when treating lymphedema. To obtain the final result, 60 scientific materials were used that talk about the topic to be treated, of which 35 articles were the basis for the development of the work, and of these, 10 scientific articles talk about the DLM and 11 about Kinesiotape, while the 14 remaining, expose lymphedema and different physiotherapeutic approaches. The articles were obtained from the database of: PubMed, Scielo, Elsevier, Lilacs, Google Scholar, PEDro
