Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The main reason to conduct this research is to find the comparison of kinseotaping according to time duration that is 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours in knee osteoarthritis patients. We can find the impact of kinseo-taping on pain, balance and functional status of patients.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Osteoarthritis is a common, slowly developing disease which is enhance with age, it is also called as metabolic disease, which includes destruction and repair mechanisms that begin by bio chemical and mechanical injury. Knee osteoarthritis is a chronic degenerative disease. Because of aging and due to obesity and sedentary lifestyle risk factor in prevalence of knee osteoarthritis is increased. Cartilage is the main tissue affected by osteoarthritis and causes following symptoms including pain, stiffness, joint swelling and also decrease the range of motion. It is the one of main cause of deformity which results in poor quality of life. Knee osteoarthritis is most occurring from all types of joint disease. The WHO estimated that Osteoarthritis will become the fourth main cause of disability the year 2020. Knee pain may affect knee flexibility and cause functional disability. Quadriceps muscle weakness is one of the most marked disability impairment that is seen in knee osteoarthritis patients. This linked to functional limitations which increase fall risk and slower walking speed.

Muscle strength test showed that knee osteoarthritis patient have 25% to 45% loss of knee extension strength and 19% to 25% loss of knee flexion strength. The prevalence and incidence of knee osteoarthritis is greater in patient with age 30-65 years then adults population. Approximately 80% patients of knee osteoarthritis experience from movement restriction and 20% are not able to perform daily living activates and 11% experience from personal care. In developed countries knee osteoarthritis affects 17% to 30% of elderly population over age of 65 years and more prevalence in women than men. It is evaluate that by 2020 the approximately number of people diagnosed with osteoarthritis will be 57% and those individuals whose is affected by movement limitation will be approximately 66% Osteoarthritis is most prevalent form of joint arthritis. Knee osteoarthritis accounts for pain and functional disability in 19.2-27.8% of people age \>45, approximately 37%of individual age \>60 had knee osteoarthritis in plain radiography. Knee osteoarthritis is 4.9%over age 26 years, 16.7% among individual over 45 years and 12.1% over age 60 years. Osteoarthritis is rheumatologic disease which affects 80% of individual above 55 years. The current world wide prevalence of knee osteoarthritis is 3.8% and women are affected more often 4.8% then men. In united state knee osteoarthritis prevalence's increases by 66-100% by 2020. The main goal of knee osteoarthritis treatment is to decrease pain and maintain loss of physical function.

Among other conservative techniques use in knee osteoarthritis patients, the use of different kind of taping approaches for treatment of knee osteoarthritis patients. Kinseotaping was described use in clinics for pain management and motor function enhancement in patients of musculoskeletal injuries. Kinseotaping improve muscle flexibility and muscle strength it also improve proprioception in patients of musculoskeletal symptoms. It has been shown that elastic tape could increase local circulation, decrease edema, and maintain joint stability. Kinseotaping method is an alternative elastic taping techniques which is specially designed waterproof, hypo allergic elastic tape. This tape should apply directly on skin and left for several days. This tape would provide therapeutic effects.Kinseo-taping has high elastic adhesive material and also high stretching capacity to give free mobility at applied area. This kinseotaping improve knee pain by improving patellofemoral alignment and decrease mechanical stress on soft tissue. The kinseotaping is elastic woven cotton strip with heat sensitive acrylic adhesive and can stretch 120%-140% of its original length. It has been suggested that kinseotaping provide cutaneous stimulation which reduce pain by activating mechanoreceptors and improve muscle excitability Kinseotaping reverse the pain signals through stimulating sensory nerve endings of skin. It has been evaluated that taping on patella can improve patellar proprioception and sense of mechanical stability.

In 2019 study compares the effect of quadriceps taping with patellar taping to check balance and functional performance in patients of knee osteoarthritis. The result showed that both quadriceps and patellar taping equally improve balance and functional level of knee osteoarthritis patients. Another research was conducted in 2019in which they describe the immediate effects of kinseotaping on gait function and pain in older patients of knee osteoarthritis. Result showed that kinseotaping significantly improved gait and balance and it also decreased the pain during ambulation. In 2018 study evaluate the gait speed after applying kinseotaping on quadriceps femoris muscle in knee osteoarthritis patients. Their result suggest that time needed to perform 10 meter walk test would decreased after 3 days of application of kinseo-taping.In 2017study conducted research on effects of kinseotaping on pain and functional outcome in knee osteoarthritis patients ,their result revealed that therapeutic kinseotaping is effective in short term management of pain and disability in knee osteoarthritis patients.

standardized therapeutic KT application along with conventional therapy (hot pack ,strengthening and stretching exercises) quadriceps tapping: In the supine position, the Y shape tape will be applied from the middle of the thigh to the upper edge of the patella, Then, the tape will anchored to the inner and outer aspect of the patella with 25% muscle tension and the distal end of the strips are positioned on the tibial tubercle without any tension.

McConnell Patellar tapping technique:

The patient will be positioned in long sitting position; affected knee joint exposed. As per McConnell patellar taping technique, tape will applied from superior and lateral patellar borders, maximally pulling it medially. A second strip can be used for reinforcement, but it should not cover the popliteal fossa.
