Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:Given the lack of studies to substantiate the complexity of the pathological squeal in the design and creation of compressive armbands/sleeves for women with upper limb lymphedema, the experiment aims to create and support with coverage the use of compressive armbands produced with bioactive textiles as a protective therapy. The object of the research is a group of sixty women with upper limb lymphedema resulting from a mastectomy, all patients from three oncologic health centers from Sao Paulo (Brazil). Using the trans disciplinary epistemological methodology, priority is given to the explicit and implicit needs.
