Study Overview
Brief Summary
Photobiomdoulation is the use of near-infrared light to relieve pain, stimulate healing and reduce inflammation. Swelling and inflammation is a common condition after orthopedics surgeries over extremity and spine. This study aim to evaluate the effect of photobiomodulation over patients after Total Knee Arthroplasty.
Detailed Description
Patients aged over 20 after Total Knee Arthroplasty in our institution would be candidate for recruitment. The patients will be randomized to receive routine post operative care or photobiomodulation therapy. The swelling extent and subjective outcome will be recorded.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
the change of bioimpedance
Time Frame: the bioimpedance measured once daily since post operative day1 to day6 and at 2 weeks
bioimpedance of the surgical site will be measured for evaluation of swelling change
Secondary Outcomes
- pain score (visual analogue score)(once daily since post operative day1 to day6)
- active range of motion of knee(once daily since post operative day1 to day6)
- 2 minute walk test(once daily since post operative day1 to day6)
