Skin conditions in patients with lymphedema have been identified according to changes in skin mechanical properties. The skin elasticity meter is a non-invasive tool for measuring the mechanical properties of the skin; however, its potential use in patients with lymphedema has received little attention. This review aimed to provide an overview of studies measuring the skin mechanical properties of patients with lymphedema using a skin elasticity meter.
