Objective of the study was to substantiate or refute the effectiveness of therapeutic gymnastics in compression hosiery to reduce the severity of lymphedema phenomena. A secondary area of ​​activity is to introduce people of this category to adaptive physical culture.
Methods and structure of the study. The experiment involved three groups of women, 17 people in each group, all participants had symptoms of lymphedema caused by mastectomy with axillary lymph node dissection; each group received recommendations on the use of certain physical rehabilitation means (group A - therapeutic gymnastics, group B - compression hosiery, group C - therapeutic gymnastics in compression hosiery); after one month, a repeated assessment of the condition was carried out, the results were analyzed, and conclusions were formulated.
Results and conclusions. The obtained data indicate the preference of the combined use of the considered means of adaptive physical culture - therapeutic exercises in compression hosiery for individuals who have undergone mastectomy due to malignant neoplasms, relative to the separate use of therapeutic exercises and compression sessions, since the greatest effect was found in reducing the severity of lymphedema (the volume of lymphatic edema); the study participants were able to successfully adapt their daily routine to include physical culture.

Keywords: physical rehabilitation, adaptive physical education, therapeutic exercises, mastectomy, lymphedema.
