Skin conditions in patients with lymphedema have been identified according to changes in skin mechanical properties. The skin elasticity meter is a non-invasive tool for measuring the mechanical properties of the skin; however, its potential use in patients with lymphedema has received little attention. This review aimed to provide an overview of studies measuring the skin mechanical properties of patients with lymphedema using a skin elasticity meter.
Search terms and synonyms related to lymphedema and skin mechanical property measurement using a skin elasticity meter were identified, and electronic databases containing articles in English were searched.
A total of 621 articles were retrieved, and four articles were analyzed after screening. Despite this research subject receiving increasing attention, no consensus has been reached regarding the best methods.
Measurement methods are expected to be standardized in the future to elucidate the skin mechanical properties of patients with lymphedema.
根据皮肤力学特性的变化，对淋巴水肿患者的皮肤状况进行了分类。皮肤弹性计是一种用于测量皮肤力学特性的非侵入性工具，但它在淋巴水肿患者中的潜在应用尚未得到广泛关注。本综述旨在概述使用皮肤弹性计测量淋巴水肿患者皮肤力学特性的研究。
确定了与淋巴水肿和使用皮肤弹性计测量皮肤力学特性相关的检索词和同义词，并对包含英文文章的电子数据库进行了检索。
共检索到 621 篇文章，经过筛选后分析了 4 篇文章。尽管这一研究主题越来越受到关注，但在最佳方法方面尚未达成共识。
预计未来将标准化测量方法，以阐明淋巴水肿患者的皮肤力学特性。
