Both phases were conducted in a monitored clinical environment. Patients aged \u226518\u00a0years with a diagnosis of lower limb lymphoedema who had used a pneumatic compression device for \u22653\u00a0months were eligible. Patients rated subjective fit, comfort and usability on an 11-point Likert scale (where higher scores indicate better fit\/comfort\/usability).
