Journal Article
Dai, M., Sugama, J., Tsuchiya, S., Sato, A., Matsumoto, M., Iuchi, T., …Moffatt, C. J. (2015). Inter-rater reliability of the AFTD-pitting test among elderly patients in a long-term medical facility. https://doi.org/10.15010/LRAP.2015.06.27.02

BACKGROUND and AIM: The pitting test has been reported in various methods as a standard for evaluating chronic oedema, but a unified method has not been determined. This makes it difficult to accurately specify the prevalence of oedema. The present s...
