The swell effect: Starting with legs for patients sleeping in a riser recliner
When a patient presents with swollen legs (oedema), they aren't just carrying extra fluid; they are carrying a heavy burden that threatens their independence and potentially the viability of their skin in terms of leg ulceration and potential pressure damage. If left unmanaged, a "simple" case of swelling can trigger a downward spiral that could end in a total loss of mobility- a state clinicians often call being “off-legs.”

Critically, as a result of this, clients face the most challenging complication of all - the absence of independence and dignity.
