The surgery of knee replacement due to degenerative changes is the last step of the treatment. After surgery, a major problem in patients is pain, swelling, intraarticular hematoma, and the restriction of the mobility of the joint. The aim of this work was to determine the effect of Kinesio Taping (KT) on reducing edema of the subcutaneous tissue and improving the range of motion in the joint.
82 patients were qualified for the study. After surgery, 42 patients received postoperative edema treatment with KT bands, and 40 patients did not receive the treatment. The swelling thickness and range of mobility were measured on the third and eighth days after the operation.
A statistical difference between the longitudinal measurements of the KT group and the group without KT application was shown at the level of the fibula head, 25 mm below the fibula neck, and 50 mm below the fibular neck. There were no statistically significant differences in the change in knee angle between the applied and non-applied patients.
The lymphatic application technique KT influences the absorption of subcutaneous edema after primary knee joint replacement surgery but has no influence on mobility.
因退行性变进行膝关节置换手术是治疗的最后一步。术后，患者面临的主要问题是疼痛、肿胀、关节内血肿以及关节活动受限。本研究的目的是确定肌内效贴布（KT）对减轻皮下组织水肿和改善关节活动范围的效果。
82例患者符合研究条件。术后，42例患者使用KT带进行术后水肿治疗，40例患者未接受该治疗。在术后第三天和第八天测量肿胀厚度和活动范围。
在腓骨头、腓骨颈下方25毫米处以及腓骨颈下方50毫米处，KT组与未使用KT组的纵向测量结果存在统计学差异。应用和未应用KT的患者之间膝关节角度变化无统计学显著差异。
淋巴应用技术KT影响初次膝关节置换术后皮下水肿的吸收，但对活动度无影响。
