Gesture & etiquette
Position cushion under calves so feet are higher than heart. Watch face for comfort/discomfort. Gentle stroking from ankle toward knee improves circulation. Avoid compressed area. If severe edema, report to nurse for medical assessment.
Edema (むくみ) management for seniors. Elevate legs above heart level using pillow/cushion under calves (not just feet). Check skin condition for redness or pressure marks. Light gentle massage from ankle upward improves circulation. Always check shoes/socks for tightness as contributing factor.
