Randomized Clinical Controlled Study Comparing the Effect of Modified Manual Edema Mobilization Treatment with Traditional Edema Technique in Patients with a Fracture of the Distal Radius
J Hand Ther. 2011 Jul-Sep;24(3):184-93; quiz 194. doi: 10.1016/j.jht.2010.10.009. Epub 2010 Dec 30To compare two techniques in reducing edema, 30 patients with subacute hand/arm edema after a distal radius fracture were randomized to either receive modified Manual Edema Mobilization (MEM) approach or traditional edema treatment.

However, MEM needed fewer sessions to achieve same results.
