[Effect of manual lymph drainage on the autonomic nervous system].
Biotonometry according to Rilling enables determination of HR and HC in healthy subjects. These two parameters hardly change during the day (diurnal profiles). In healthy 18 to 21 year old women and men, HR is 7 to 8 kOhm and HC 0.15 to 0.25 microfarad. In healthy subjects, HR increases and HC decreases during ML according to Dr. Vodder. In patients with phlebedema, local ML carried out several times brought about an increase in the level of the HR curve. Similarly to Kracmar, Hauswirth and Rilling, we conclude that there is a transition from a sympathotonic or normotonic reaction situation into a parasympathotonic reaction situation after carrying out ML. These results of experimental investigations thus confirm the clinical observations according to which a vagotonic reaction situation arises during ML (Wittlinger and Wittlinger).
