In this prospective, randomized controlled trial; To evaluate the effect of kinesiology taping applied for edema on pain, edema and functions in the early period after total knee replacement.Patients who underwent total knee replacement will be included in the 10-day follow-up study.Patients will be divided into three groups by randomization. A conservative postoperative physiotherapy program, which is routinely applied to all groups, will be applied. Thus, no patient will be left without treatment. The first group will be considered as the control group, which will be given only a conservative physiotherapy program.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

kinesio tape

According to this, the proximal part of the band is located close to the lymph node. In our study, as stated in the literature, the proximal part of the tape will be adhered to the fibular head area next to the lymph nodes without applying any stretching. Then 5-10% stretching is applied and the distal part is adhered. 2 separate tapes are applied so that the strips cross each other

OTHER

Sham taping

In the same procedure and time as kinesiotaping, inelastic tape will be used instead of kinesiotape.
