Effect of kinesio taping on upper limb lymphedema

Kinesio taping was applied 2 times a week for 3 weeks to the KT group. KT improves fluid movement by widening the distance between connective tissues like skin and fascia,fascia and muscles and skin and muscles.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Effect of kinesio taping on upper limb lymphedema

Intervention Type OTHER
