ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to provide a systematic review on the applicability of manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) in improving edema and clinical presentation postmusculoskeletal injuries. A review of the literature was performed in CINAHL, MANTIS, Medline, SPORTDiscus and Google Scholar, yielding a total of 8 articles. Half of the studies showed a strong quality assessment. Results from our work support the use of MLD for reducing edema reduction and pain as well as enhancing range of motion and patients' quality of life and satisfaction. Further research is needed to apply these findings to a broader range of musculoskeletal injuries and conditions.
