MLD = manual lymphatic drainage, SBD = skin-to-bone distance, VAS = visual analog pain scale.

In the Generalized Linear Models analysis:

‡ P < .05 the data before intervention compared with after intervention.

$ P < .05 the data of the rehabilitation group compared with that of the MLD group before intervention.

# P < .05 the data of the rehabilitation group compared with that of the MLD group after intervention.

P < .05 the data of the rehabilitation group compared with that of the MLD group.
