Effects of lipedema on lower limb muscle strength, muscle endurance, functionality, functional exercise capacity, pressure pain threshold and edema: A case-control study

Lower extremity muscle strength, muscle endurance, functionality, functional exercise capacity and pressure pain threshold decrease in women with lipedema. It is recommended that these changes be taken into account when developing rehabilitation strategies.
