Intermittent pneumatic compression & Combined exercise
Combined exercise
Combined decongestive treatment consists of manual lymphatic drainage and compression bandaging for 5 days a week, for 6 weeks (totally, 30 sessions). All participants received 30 minutes aerobic exercise program including treadmill training consisted of a 5-minute warm-up and cool-down period and 25-minute submaximal aerobic exercise 5 days a week, for 6 weeks. Exercise intensity was calculated from the initial 6MWT. Each session was completed with 15 minutes of strengthening and stretching exercises.
