Patients will be divided into 2 groups according to the random numbers table, and both groups will receive a conventional physical therapy and rehabilitation program and nutritional support. Afterwards, edema-reducing kinesiotaping will be applied to one group. The applied kinesio tape will remain on the patient for 5 days and will be taped again after 2 days without tape. In this way, taping will be done 3 times in total, once a week for 3 weeks. During this period, patients will continue their routine physical therapy program and measurements will be taken by the same researcher in the 1st week of treatment and 3 weeks later.
