Summary

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.

Conditions

  • Distal Radius Fracture

Interventions

OTHER

kinesiotaping

Kinesio tape will be attached with lymphedema technique. The bands will be removed prior to each assessment so that they do not affect the evaluator's blinding. After evaluation, the new tape will be fitted by the invesitgatör

OTHER

exercise

Wrist, finger, elbow range of motion and stretching exercises will be taught to the patients and given as home exercises. In addition, patients will be given a leaflet containing illustrated and explanatory exercise visuals.
