A comparison of the static stiffness index between a compression garment and an adjustable device in breast cancer-related lymphoedema: a cross-sectional study
The SSI was greater with ACG use compared with the compression garment. Patients who had breast-conserving surgeries and early-stage tumours showed the highest SSI when using the compression garment. No SSI differences were found regarding patient demographic, clinical, tumour or treatment characteristics during ACG use.
