Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint condition that causes other joint tissues to lose gross cartilage and to experience morphological damage. Pathological changes seen in knee osteoarthritis joints include progressive loss and destruction of articular cartilage, thickening of the subchondral bone, formation of osteophytes, variable degrees of inflammation of the synovium, degeneration of ligaments and menisci of the knee and hypertrophy of the joint capsule. Biomechanical factor that is assumed to contribute to the etiology of OA is laxity of knee joint, which is described as the rotation or displacement of femur from tibia. One research found that Varus-valgus laxity in patients with unaltered knees and unilateral OA is wider than in stable healthy participants, indicating knee joint laxity may be disease predisposing. the progress of the lateral and medial knee OA, as defined by narrowing of joint space and a degradation of physical activity, was found to have been linked with lower limb valgus-Varus alignment.
The main focus in OA management is on promoting self-management, reducing pain, optimize function, and modifying the disease process and its effects. The primary treatment for OA knee conservatively is physiotherapy which includes strength training, modalities, knee bracing, resistance training and Kinesiotaping. Resistance exercise can reduce knee pain severity and leg strength in participants with symptomatic knee OA. Exercise interventions using free weights or machines have generally focused on movements with concentric muscle contractions. Previous interventions were developed based on loads lifted during the concentric phase.
Kinesiotape (KT), is an elastic woven-cotton strip with a heat- sensitive acrylic adhesive structure.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
group A, Concentric Muscle Training
leg press, knee flexion, knee extension, Quad drills with 1 RM
group A concentric muscle training
One set of each of the following exercises will completed during each session:
* leg press,
* knee flexion,
* knee extension,
* Quad drills For each set, 12 repetitions will be performed at a resistance load of 60% of the one-repetition maximum (1RM) for that exercise. The exercises will be performed 2 times a week for 6 weeks.
group B, Quadriceps Facilitatory Kinesiotaping
kinesiotaping on the quadriceps muscle in the faciliatory mode
Group B fascilitatory kinesiotaping
Kinesiotaping is applied on the anterior thigh (quadriceps) region starting at 1/5 of the distance between anterosuperior iliac spine (ASIS) and tibia tuberosity. The tape is applied with 20% tension of the tape. The tape was tensioned from proximal region of mid quadriceps down to tibia tuberosity and, once it reached the knee, the tape was divided in the middle allowing it to circle the joint
