• MLB is intended to provide sustained moderate gradient compression that supports lymphatic return while reducing adverse effects on skin and circulation. — Multilayer low-stretch bandage combined with conventional rehabilitation to promote functional recovery after knee surgery: study protocol for a prospective, single-blind, randomised controlled trial
• The proposed mechanism is that compression raises tissue hydrostatic pressure to counteract oedema from capillary leakage and support earlier strength training. — Multilayer low-stretch bandage combined with conventional rehabilitation to promote functional recovery after knee surgery: study protocol for a prospective, single-blind, randomised controlled trial
• A previous RCT found MLB improved mobility and reduced swelling and pain at discharge, but lacked long-term follow-up. — Multilayer low-stretch bandage combined with conventional rehabilitation to promote functional recovery after knee surgery: study protocol for a prospective, single-blind, randomised controlled trial
• Prior studies suggest multilayer compression can reduce early postoperative ankle oedema and improve early knee ROM and straight-leg-raise ability after total knee arthroplasty. — Multilayer low-stretch bandage combined with conventional rehabilitation to promote functional recovery after knee surgery: study protocol for a prospective, single-blind, randomised controlled trial
