Evaluation of Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy and Complex Decongestive Therapy Results in Patients With Lipedema

Evaluation of Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) and Complex Decongestive Therapy (CDT) Results in Patients With Lipoedema

The aim of the study is to evaluate the results of the Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy and Complex Decongestive Therapy in patient diagnosed with lipedema.

The collected content will be transferred over SPSS 21.0. The normality distribution of the data will be evaluated with the Shapiro-Wilk Test. Data will be displayed as mean±standard deviation, median (1st quartile-3 quartile), or number(percent). In comparisons between the two consuming variables before and after exercise, if the values fit the normal distribution, the "paires sample t test" is used, if not, the Wilcoxon test is used. In the comparison of 3 groups, one-way ANOVA will be applied if it is normally distributed, and if it does not fit the normal distribution, the Kruskal Wallis test will be applied. Post-hoc analysis was planned for the printer, which was determined to determine the method statistically. To compare categorical protections is to use the Chi-square test. P < 0.05 will be considered future.
