Brief Summary

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

Knee osteoarthritis is the most common kind of arthritis that occurs due to degeneration of the joint articular cartilage, producing pain, stiffness, and impaired movement. Kinesio taping is a simple and inexpensive therapeutic procedure that can help with knee osteoarthritis symptoms. Kinesio taping is a high-stretch elastic adhesive material that allows the treated area to have free mobility. This technique was preferred by physical therapists for knee osteoarthritis rehabilitation because of its positive effects, such as decreased pain and increased mobility and muscular performance.

KINESIO TAPING AND CONVENTIONAL PHYSICAL THERAPY

Application of Kinesio taping following Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation and Knee Exercises

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

KINESIO TAPING

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Kinesio taping The patient is in a supine position with full knee flexion. Prior to application, the skin surface was cleaned. This technique involved the use of two Y-cut strips and two I-cut strips.

CONVENTIONAL PHYSICAL THERAPY

Intervention Type DEVICE

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation TENS device settings, such as the frequency of 32-50 Hz, pulse width of 80 ms, and symmetrical biphasic waveform. The surface electrodes were placed on the medial and lateral superior borders of the patella, as well as the medial and lateral inferior borders of the patella.

Exercise therapy program The total duration of each exercise session was about 50 minutes, including warm-up-10 minutes, resistance exercise-20 minutes, balance and stability exercise-10 minutes, lower-limb stretching exercise-5 minutes, and cool-down exercise-5 minutes. The same assigned physical therapist supervised all of the sessions.
