The aim of this study was to examine if kinesiotape could maintain size and extracellular fluid (ECF) volume of the hand and forearm, as well as upper limb function and quality of life for women with secondary hand lymphedema.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods and Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Six women with secondary hand lymphedema underwent pretreatment measurements, including hand and digit size using a tape measure; ECF volume using bioimpedance spectroscopy; and patient-reported outcome measurements of upper limb function and quality of life. Kinesiotape was then applied to the dorsum of the hand and left for 48\u2009h, during which participants were asked not to wear compression garments. Posttreatment measurements were completed after kinesiotape removal. Changes in measurements were compared to the smallest detectable change (SDC). Hand size did not change more than the SDC; however, a single affected digit increased in circumference by more than the SDC. Changes of the whole arm ECF volume were less than the SDC. The ECF volume of the dorsum of the hand increased in one and decreased in another participant. The forearm ECF volume decreased in two participants. Upper limb function and quality of life did not change. No adverse event was reported.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Short-term kinesiotape use appears to be safe in maintaining the physical presentation of hand lymphedema. However, these results should be examined in a larger sample.
