Background: Measurements of lower limb (LL) volume and local tissue water by tissue dielectric constant (TDC) are common in lymphedema management. Knowledge of normal variability in health subjects is important and can serve as a base for early lymphedema diagnosis but is currently lacking. The aim of this study was to evaluate test–retest reliability of LL volume and TDC values in healthy women and men.

健康女性和男性下肢体积和局部组织水分测量的重测可靠性。

背景：通过组织介电常数 (TDC) 测量下肢 (LL) 体积和局部组织水分在淋巴水肿管理中很常见。健康受试者正常变异的知识很重要，可以作为早期淋巴水肿诊断的基础，但目前还缺乏。本研究的目的是评估健康女性和男性 LL 体积和 TDC 值的重测信度。
