简要总结
Significant trauma and muscular tightness often result during Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) surgery and thus act to restrict tissue fluid movement resulting with lower extremity edema. Kinesio Taping® is applied directly on the skin for restoration of normal fluid perfusion, removing congestion of lymphatic fluid or hemorrhages. In addition Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) enhances blood circulation and stimulates the lymphatic movement and unblocks lymphatic territories. The aim of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of Kinesio Taping® and MLD in reducing postoperative edema and pain in the early stage after TKA.
详细描述
Procedures: Patients who underwent unilateral TKA were randomized as Kinesio Taping® group, MLD group and control group. For all patients, postoperative rehabilitation program included early mobilization and physical therapy twice a day during the stay in orthopedic traumatology department. On the second day after surgery, lymphatic correction method was used on the Kinesio Taping® group patients and a standardized 30-minute MLD treatment was applied to the MLD group patients. Control group received only physiotherapy treatment. Circumference measurements were applied on preoperatively and the second, third, fourth day and 6th weeks after surgery. Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) was used to determine the functional outcomes on the 6th weeks after surgery. Repeated measures of variance analysis was used to determine time differences between groups.
