The purpose of this study was to clarify outcomes on the lower limbs in cases of lying and taking Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) for nurses after an 8-hour shift. The participants were eight females who were not pregnant, over 35 years old and had not had any operations on their bodies. We measured circumference of seven points on their lower limbs by two times on different days. It meant that we measured before and after at the time of lying in bed or taking MLD for 30 minutes. By the lying in bed, four points of the left side and one point of the right side decreased significantly the lower limb’s circumference. However, the circumference of the inguinal region and popliteal fossa did not change. By taking MLD, six points of on the left side and three points of right side decreased significantly the lower limb’s circumference. We found that the circumference of the lower limbs, including the inguinal region and popliteal fossa, were decreased. This result suggested MLD was a useful skill for to hasten blood circulation. To decrease the circumference of the lower limbs, we suggest that it is not only lying, but also add to MLD on their lower limbs.
