Assessment of Family Caregiver Burden and Its Relationships Between Quality of Life, Arm Disability, Grip Strength, and Lymphedema Symptoms in Women with Postmastectomy Lymphedema: A Prospective Cross-Sectional Study.

Arm disability indicates caregiver burden and quality of life in patients with postmastectomy lymphedema while caregiver burden predicts the quality of life. These findings have implications for the management of lymphedema. We suggest that arm disability should be diagnosed and treated to improve caregiver burden and quality of life.
