Brief Summary

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

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.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The prevalence of distal radius fracture is increasing day by day. Circular cast is applied in 70-80% of patients treated for distal radius fractures.During the rehabilitation of patients after plaster application, joint stiffness, swelling on the hand and wrist, and edema are frequently encountered.Edema in the hand and wrist negatively affects the daily activities of patients, their quality of life, wrist and finger functions.

Edema is the main problem in rehabilitation after upper extremity injuries.It is known that fibrosis and adhesions in soft tissues develop as a result of prolonged extremity edema.

Elevation, massage, cold application, pressure gloves are used for edema control.

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. Kinesio Tape working mechanism opens the distance between the skin and subcutaneous tissues after it is applied to the skin and increases lymphatic drainage.

Kinesio tape also has the effect of supporting the joint and soft tissues around the joint.

Research on kinesio tape has generally focused on the control of lymphedema that develops after breast cancer surgery or stroke.

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.

Considering the studies conducted for edema control in patients treated for distal radius fractures, the effect of massage applications on edema has been investigated and it has been shown that massage has positive effects on edema control and wrist functions(9).

In another study, the effectiveness of modified massage methods in the treatment of edema was investigated and its positive effects were observed. 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.

Outcome Assessors

The person who evaluates the outcome criteria and the person who makes the interventions are different. The person who evaluates the outcome criteria is blind.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Experimental group

After the initial evaluation, the patients will be randomly divided into two groups as the Experimental group and the control group.Experimental group will receive kinesiotape treatment in addition to those applied in the control group.

Kinesiotape to the kinesio tape group will be done by a PM\&R spesialist doctor who has a certificate of kinesiotaping, in accordance with the literature, using the lymphedema method.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

kinesiotaping

Intervention Type OTHER

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

exercise

Intervention Type OTHER

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.

Control group

Elevation and cold application, which is applied in the prevention and treatment of classical edema, will be recommended to the control group. In addition, wrist, elbow, finger range of motion and stretching exercises will be taught as a home exercise program.

Group Type OTHER
