Night Compression:

Not indicated:
No swelling is present, and day treatment is maintained at a stable size to manage disease progression.

Tips:

• The daytime garments hold decongestion sizes present, and day treatment is maintained; if not, increase containment with a higher-containing material.
• Compress one joint level below swelling or as high as the patient can tolerate due to arthritic changes, flexibility, and daily function.
• Watch a video demonstration on how to measure lower extremities.
• Access educational resources via Juzo Academy.
