Brief summary
The investigators will conduct a single-blind, randomized controlled trial of 100 patients with total knee replacement. Patients will be randomly assigned into a control group and an intervention group.Both groups received same rehabilitation procedures after surgery,except intervention group also received taping applications throughout all rehabilitation period.Then, the patients will be reevaluated to determine changes in lower extremity function, edema, pain,knee range of motion, and muscle strength of quadriceps femoris and hamstring.
Interventions
OTHERthe Nine Castle Net Format Taping
The intervention group received traditional rehabilitation and Taping throughout all rehabilitation period.The taping including a Nine Castle Net Format of taping in both side of surgery knee.We will exchange the new taping for every two days， for a week.Traditional rehabilitation included occupational therapy and physical therapy, patients took part in the traditional rehabilitation training for 30 minutes each day, for a week.
