Limb Volume Calculation Software
by Bioscience Research Institute
(Version 4.0)


This computer program (CD) allows you to easily and systematically calculate, track and document your patients progress. This software can be used with unilateral and bilateral lymphedema involvement. You choose segment length, e.g. 4cm or 6cm and measure circumferences. The program calculates volume and surface area of the limb. In unilateral involvement, the program calculates edema volume and percentage of edema. Each segment is graphed on the measurement sheet to easily identify edematous areas. Hand volumes can also be documented in upper extremity involvement. The summary sheet charts progress as data is entered. You can name, save and recall records. Print copies for insurance documentation and referring physicians.
