“…In addition to the MLD program, participants in the experimental group received additional isokinetic strength training for 20 min daily over the same 4-week period.OutcomesLower limb volume derived from the circumference measurements, Holden Gait Scale and Lovett muscle strength grading.ResultsPrior to the intervention, no statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups across all outcomes (P &gt; 0.05). Post-intervention, statistically significant improvements were noted in the experimental group compared to the control group with respect to reduced lower extremity volume, improved walking ability, and increased muscle strength (P &lt; 0.05).ConclusionFor patients with secondary lower limb lymphedema following gynecological tumor surgery, a combination of isokinetic strength training and MLD has been found to be more effective than MLD alone in reducing edema, improving walking ability, and enhancing muscle strength.…”
