Brief Summary

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

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if kinesiologic taping works to treat individuals with Rheumatoid Arthritis.

The main questions it aim to answer:

* Is kinesiologic taping applied to the knee joint an effective treatment for pain, mobility, and kinesiophobia in individuals diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis?
* Which is more effective? Kinesiologic taping or non-therapeutic sham taping? Which is better for pain, functional capacity, kinesiophobia and disease activity? Researchers will compare kinesiologic taping and non-therapeutic sham taping . Patients will be randomly divided into groups. The first group of patients was treated with sham taping, and the application period was applied consecutively for 4 weeks, with a minimum interval of 3 days and a maximum interval of 5 days. Group 2 patients underwent kinesiological taping, with the application period ranging from 3 to 5 days per week for 4 consecutive weeks.
