Can you tell me how stasis lead to edema?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gravity: Any time your body remains in one position with little or no movement and muscle contractions the lymph stays relatively stagnant. This leads to edema or swelling of the dependent area gravity also takes its toll. So if you sit all day in on position IE plane ride yur feet and legs may swell
