dc.description.abstract | Edema is swelling caused by excess fluid trapped in the body’s tissues, most noticeably in the feet, ankles, hands, and face. Clinically, there is a great need to accurately measure the level of swelling. The devices currently used are relatively low-tech, including standard, fabric tape measures. Because each person measures slightly differently, inconsistencies are common. Additionally, measuring is tedious because the measurements must be made all the way up the arms and legs. Therefore, there is a need for a device that will both accurately and consistently measure the swelling. | en_US |
