Overview
Brief Summary
The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of elastic bandaging, Kinesio taping, and short stretch bandaging techniques on postoperative pain, edema, and functional level in the early stage after total knee arthroplasty.
Detailed Description
The study was conducted on 30 volunteer subjects who underwent unilateral total knee arthroplasty surgery. Thirty participants who underwent unilateral total knee arthroplasty were divided into the Elastic Bandage Group (n=10), Kinesio Tape group (n=10), and Short Stretch Bandage group (n=10). All treatments were stopped on the eighth day. All measurements taken preoperatively were repeated postoperative 1st, 3rd, 5th, 8th, 14th, 28th days, 6th week, and 3rd month. The functional level was measured in the sixth week and third month.
