Effects of Kinesio-taping in Knee Osteoarthritis Patients.

Summary

The main reason to conduct this research is to find the comparison of kinseotaping according to time duration that is 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours in knee osteoarthritis patients. We can find the impact of kinseo-taping on pain, balance and functional status of patients.

Conditions

• Knee Osteoarthritis

Interventions

OTHER

kinesio-taping with conventional therapy 24 hours

standardized therapeutic KT application along with conventional therapy (hot pack ,strengthening and stretching exercises) quadriceps tapping: In the supine position, the Y shape tape will be applied from the middle of the thigh to the upper edge of the patella, Then, the tape will anchored to the inner and outer aspect of the patella with 25% muscle tension and the distal end of the strips are positioned on the tibial tubercle without any tension. McConnell Patellar tapping technique: The patient will be positioned in long sitting position; affected knee joint exposed. As per McConnell patellar taping technique, tape will applied from superior and lateral patellar borders, maximally pulling it medially. A second strip can be used for reinforcement, but it should not cover the popliteal fossa.
