  1. Data are presented as mean difference (standard deviation)
  2. Protocol A, no medical compression stocking (MCS) + natural rest; Protocol B, MCS + natural rest; Protocol C, no MCS + intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC); Protocol D, MCS + IPC; △, the difference of leg ECW/TBW during T1-T2 between the different treatment protocols
  3. Wilcoxon signed rank test on difference (p < 0.008)
