N2  - Background: Lymphoedema is a chronic and difficult condition to be cured. It is characterised by impaired drainage of lymphatic fluid, resulting in excess accumulation of fluid, and can affect all regions of the body. Objective: To compare between the effect of kinesiotaping (KT) and multilayer short stretch bandages (MLLB) in management of unilateral lower extremity lymphoedema .Subjects and methods: Forty patients of both genders with unilateral secondary lower limb lymphedema (24 female & 16 male) were selected from Alexandria Police Hospital and Alexandria University Hospitals and they had been participated in this study .they have been given the treatment session 3 times per week for 2 months. Their Age ranged from 45-60 years. They were assigned into two groups, group A (study group)  (12 female & 8 male) in which kinesiotaping was applied to the whole extremity in addition to standard complete decongestive therapy (CDT) .group B (control group) (12 female & 8male) : MLLB was applied to the whole leg in addition to CDT. Standard tape measurements at three different levels of the legend ultrsonography are used to track the reduction of lymphoedema and were done at the beginning and at the end of the study
