Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is designed to better understand the effect of Kinesio Taping applied using the Neurotaping technique on patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty surgery. Patients will be randomized in two groups: in the first group patients will follow a protocol of usual rehabilitation, while the second group will do the same but add the Kinesio Taping application. Main outcome will be the effect on edema, secondary outcome the effect on functionality after 13 days post surgery.

NONE

Randomization list has been already generated but will not be available to the recruiters to avoid allocation bias.

Statistician that will handle the data analysis will not know which group is the interventional and which group is the control.

We were not able to mask the using of tape to the patients or the investigators because it is an evident treatment.
