Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Kinesiotape leg plus standard rehabilitation
Kinesio(R)Tape for edema management applied to a randomly selected lower extremity plus standard inpatient rehabilitation after bilateral total knee arthroplasty
Kinesio(R)Tape for edema control
Kinesio(R)Tape is an elastic, cotton tape with an adhesive backing. When applied for edema management, strips of Kinesio(R)Tape are applied to the lower leg in a criss-cross fashion by a physical therapist who is a Certified Kinesiotape Practitioner.
Control leg with standard rehabilitation alone
Control leg receiving standard inpatient rehabilitation alone.
No interventions assigned to this group
