Effect of Compression Tights on Skin Temperature in Women with Lipedema

The aim was to analyze the effect of compression tights on skin temperature in women with lipedema and assess different knitting temperature. Twenty-four (Grade I = 25%; Grade II 75%) were divided into three groups according prototype assigned: control (n 9), Flat 7) circular 8). participants performed a gait test two times, separated by 15 days: before wearing study after treatment (15 days employing tights). Skin measured using infrared thermography both days, six regions interest determined anterior posterior leg. decreased exercise all (e.g., thigh (IC95% (−1.1, −0.7 °C) p < 0.001), but no differences observed between walking (p > 0.05). use compressing for does not alter walking. absence assessments allows obtaining benefits during without negative thermal effects.
