The estimated number of Canadians living with chronic lymphedema is 1 million - giving it a prevalence of 2.8%. Lymphedema is swelling caused by excess protein-rich lymph trapped within the tissues. This is a chronic condition.
Edema is usually caused by excess tissue fluid that had not yet returned to the circulatory system. The number of people affected by edema is unknown and considered to be much higher because anyone can be affected.
Morbid obesity, venous disease and today’s treatments for cancer can lead to a compromised lymphatic system and swelling/lymphdema in the legs including the feet. It can be difficult for patients and healthcare providers to find the correct footwear to manage these specific needs.
