This study investigated how OTs who were certified lymphedema therapists addressed quality-of-life (QOL) issues for clients with lymphedema. Participants tended to administer occupation-based interventions but not QOL assessments despite how important they rated addressing client QOL. Because lymphedema affects QOL, it is important to understand practice trends to improve client care and justify the need for OT in this specialty area of practice.
