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.

Conditions

Study Arms (3)

Elastic bandaging

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients who have undergone TKA for primary knee OA

Other: Elastic bandaging

Short stretch bandaging

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients who have undergone TKA for primary knee OA

Other: Short stretch bandaging

Kinesio taping

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients who have undergone TKA for primary knee OA

Other: Kinesio taping

Interventions

Elastic bandaging OTHER

The bandages were wrapped circularly along the extremity from the toes to the groin, drawing an "8" at the ankle with a 50% overlap rate, starting with 80% tension and decreasing the pressure proximally.

Elastic bandaging

Short stretch bandaging OTHER

Short tension bandage application was started on postoperative day 1 following the removal of the drains. According to the width of the extremity, using short tension bandages of 6, 8 and 10 cm width, starting from the sole of the foot, the first layer was wrapped circularly with 50% overlapping rate, 80% tension, and wrapped from the sole of the foot to the groin.

Short stretch bandaging

Kinesio taping OTHER

Kinesio taping was applied in the form of a fan by cutting into 4 longitudinal pieces using the lymphatic correction technique with 15-20% tension, starting from the periphery of the inguinal lymph nodes on the medial, anterior and lateral of the leg, following the removal of the drains from the 1st post-op day.
