1. Anatomy
This chapter provides a foundational overview of the lymphatic system by describing various physical structures that comprise the superficial and deep lymphatic anatomy. Participants will learn about the unique functional attributes of lymph vessels and nodes, and will gain the tools necessary to recite the clinically relevant drainage pathways within the superficial and deep divisions of the lymphatic system.
2. Physiology and Pathophysiology
Steve Norton provides an overview of the physiology and pathophysiology of the lymph system, in which he discusses the formation of edema and the insufficiencies of the lymphatic system. Upon completion, participants will understand transport capacity, lymphatic load, functional reserve and lymph time volume, as well as the etiology of high protein, low protein and mixed edema.
3. Lymphedema Diagnosis and Differential Diagnosis
The focus of this chapter is to understand lymphedema as a pathology, and explain the characteristics that make it a unique clinical presentation. Participants will come to appreciate the importance of accurate staging of lymphedema in order to intervene with therapy, as well as to differentiate characteristics of clinical presentations other than lymphedema that may involve edema.
