Foot Arch Study in Women With Lipedema
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at the arch of the foot and how the foot works in women with lipedema, a condition where fat builds up unevenly, usually in the legs. Participants will have their existing foot X-rays reviewed to compare foot structure between those with and without lipedema.
