I would like to thank the author for their valuable contribution to this important topic, which is highly relevant to physicians managing musculoskeletal disorders (1). While the review effectively highlights the significance of advanced imaging modalities, I would like to emphasise the fundamental role of clinical evaluation in the diagnosis of lymphedema from a physiatrist’s perspective.
