Implementation of Single-Tab Electrodes for Bioimpedance Spectroscopy Measures.

ABSTRACT: Background: Bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) demonstrates proficiency in early identification of breast cancer treatment-related lymphedema (BCRL) development. Dual-tab electrodes were designed for consistent and easy electrode placement, however, single-tab electrodes positioned to mimic dual-tab placement on the body may make BIS technology more accessible in community hospitals and outpatient settings. The purpose of this study is to evaluate use of single-tab electrodes for BIS measurements and assess whether single-tab electrodes provide consistent BIS measurements in controls and patients with BCRL. Methods and Results: Upper limb BIS ratios were obtained using ImpediMed L-Dex^® U400 in controls (n = 13; age = 23-75 years; 9 repeated measur
