Brief Summary

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

The aim of this study is to determine instant effect of kinesiology taping applied to the rectus femoris on muscle activation, physical performance and proprioception in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Detailed Description

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

40 patients with knee OA will be included in the study. Intervention group and placebo group will be formed. Facilitation taping will be applied on the rectus femoris of the patients in the taping group. The patients in the placebo group will be placed tape on the rectus femoris without any tension. Muscle activation, physical performance and proprioception will be evaluated before taping and 30 minutes after taping.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

taping group

Facilitation taping will be applied to the rectus femoris of patients with knee OA in the taping group.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

kinesiology tape

Intervention Type OTHER

The tape will be fixed without any tension 10 cm below the origin of the rectus femoris muscle. Then 35-50% tension will be applied to the band and descended to the patella. After this point, the Y-shaped band will be terminated to wrap the patella medially and laterally without any tension.

placebo group

The patients with knee OA in the placebo group will be placed tape on the rectus femoris without any tension.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Placebo tape

Intervention Type OTHER

The tape will attach to the rectus femoris without any tension.
