Dissertation note: Thesis (Ph.D.) - Cairo University - Faculty of Physical Therapy - Department of Physical Therapy for Surgery Summary: Purpose: The purpose was to compare between pneumatic pressure and pressure garment in treatment of post mastectomy lymphedema. Subjects: Sixty patients were participated in this study .Their ages ranged from 40:70 years. They were randomly divided into two equal groups. Procedures: Group (A) received 30 minutes pneumatic pressure in addition to decongestive physical therapy for 60 minutes three sessions per week for three months. Group (B) received well fitted pressure garment, in addition to decongestive physical therapy (same program). Results: The study showed no significant difference between both groups after six weeks, the mean difference between both groups was 279.83mL in limb volume post (1) treatment, as, P-value more than (0.05).There was no significant difference between both groups post (2) treatment after three months, the mean difference between both groups was 303.07mL ,P-value more than (0.05).Conclusion: The results proved that both pneumatic pressure and pressure garment are equally effective in reducing lymphedema ,consequally increasing shoulder range of motion ,hand grip and quality of life scale
