Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
This study aimed to determine the immediate and long-term effects of the single and repetitive application of kinesiotape on pain, knee joint range of motion, postural stability, and physical performance in participants with knee osteoarthritis. The results of this study will support evidence-based reports based on the effectiveness of kinesiotape in knee osteoarthritis and recommendations for future studies.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Kinesiotape
The participants received kinesiotape to the rectus femoris muscle.
Kinesiotape
The participants received kinesiotape application three times with one-week intervals. Y strip tape was used. The interventionist applied the band to the rectus femoris muscle with facilitation technique.
Home-based exercise program
Participants were taught exercise program training. The exercise intervention was based on quadriceps and knee flexor muscle group strengthening, and knee joint range of motion exercises, in their home.
Sham-kinesiotape
Non-specific taping was applied.
Sham-kinesiotape
The participants received sham-kinesiotape application three times with one-week intervals.
In the sham group, the interventionist adhered KT to the rectus femoris transversely, without stretching.
Home-based exercise program
Participants were taught exercise program training. The exercise intervention was based on quadriceps and knee flexor muscle group strengthening, and knee joint range of motion exercises, in their home.
