简要总结
Kinesio tape is used successfully in the control of edema related to the extremity, especially in the control of lymphedema that develops after surgery.Kinesiotape is a non-allergic elastic tape applied to the skin surface.There are publications showing that kinesio tape applications are beneficial for edema control after interventional procedures such as anterior cruciate ligament surgery and knee prosthesis related to orthopedic surgical interventions. There is no publication on the effectiveness of kinesio tape application in the control and rehabilitation of post-cast edema of wrist fractures.It is planned to investigate the positive effects of kinesio tape in edema control and rehabilitation.
详细描述
The prevalence of distal radius fracture is increasing day by day. Circular cast is applied in 70-80% of patients treated for distal radius fractures.During the rehabilitation of patients after plaster application, joint stiffness, swelling on the hand and wrist, and edema are frequently encountered.Edema in the hand and wrist negatively affects the daily activities of patients, their quality of life, wrist and finger functions.
Edema is the main problem in rehabilitation after upper extremity injuries.It is known that fibrosis and adhesions in soft tissues develop as a result of prolonged extremity edema.
Elevation, massage, cold application, pressure gloves are used for edema control.
Kinesio tape is used successfully in the control of edema related to the extremity, especially in the control of lymphedema that develops after surgery.Kinesiotape is a non-allergic elastic tape applied to the skin surface. Kinesio Tape working mechanism opens the distance between the skin and subcutaneous tissues after it is applied to the skin and increases lymphatic drainage.
Kinesio tape also has the effect of supporting the joint and soft tissues around the joint.

结局指标
主要结局
Diameter Measurement
时间窗: 10th day
Both hands and wrists of the patient will be measured with the figure of eight method with the help of a tape measure.In addition, measurements will be made at the level of the bilateral wrist, metacarpophalangeal joint, and 6 cm proximal to the wrist.
volume measurement
时间窗: 10th day
The volume measurement of the patients after the cast will be measured with the upper extremity volumetric measuring device. The measurement will be made in comparison with each intact extremity. The measurement will be made standing up and at room temperature.Both extremity volume data will be recorded. The volume measurement of the patients after the cast will be measured with the upper extremity volumetric measuring device.The measurement will be made in comparison with each intact extremity. The measurement will be made standing up and at room temperature. Both extremity volume data will be recorded.
range of motion measurement
时间窗: 10th day
Wrist joint range of motion (ROM) measurement with goniometer is the most commonly used method that provides objective evaluation and error-free measurement in clinical practice. In our study, wrist ROM measurements will be made with a goniometer using the neutral zero method.
