| Abstract: | Introduction: Osteoarthritis (OA) of knee is a degenerative joint disease which contributes significantly to disability and functional limitation. Joint instability also seen in older people. Aim & Objectives: To test the hypotheses that therapeutic taping of the knee improves pain and disability in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee. Design: Randomized single blind controlled study with two intervention arms (non-specific tape and Kinesio tape) of four weeks' duration and three weeks follow up. Methodology: 50 patients in the age group of 45-60 years with OA knee were equally assigned into two groups, Group-A and Group-B and were treated with non-specific tape and Kinesio tape respectively for a period of four weeks. Outcome Measures: The pre and post intervention outcomes were measured using visual analogue scale for pain, modified WOMAC index for functional disability, stair climbing test for mobility and range of motion for pain and stiffness. Results: Kinesio tape group (Group B) shows significant improvement in Functional Status through Western Ontario and McMaster universities osteoarthritis (WOMAC) index, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) in cm, Range of Motion (ROM) in degrees and Stair Climbing Test (SCT) in secs than non-specific tape with p-value less than zero (P<0.000). Conclusion: The Kinesio tape application combined with quadriceps isometric exercise is more effective in reducing pain and stiffness, thus improving stability and functional abilities. |
