in your lymphatic system. The blockage causes problems with draining lymph fluid properly and the fluid builds up leading to swelling into the affected area. According to Lymphatic Network, cancer survivors are more susceptible to developing lymphedema but breast cancer survivors are higher risk for it and 100% of people treated for neck and head cancer will develop the disease. Lymphedema can be primary or inherited; meaning, it can be inherited or caused by an issue with the lymphatic vessels.…

This is different from noninflammatory edema, where the fluid that accumulates in the is not risk in protein. This is due to the osmotic and hydrostatic pressures between the…

In this chapter, the algorithm of the physical biofeedback action of the wearable adaptive biofeedback (WAB) framework will be discussed as displayed in Figure ef{fig:chapter5:overview}. Section 5.2 describes the compression therapy (CT) that has been chosen as the controllable parameter by the feedback action module with the reason why it has been chosen. Section 5.3 presents the background theories of control algorithms that can be used for the feedback action controller. Section 5.4…
