Summary

Osteoarthritis (OA) is claimed to be a global burden and a key health issue that affects the large weight-bearing joints of the lower extremity such as the knee and hip joints. The study was aimed to find out the efficacy of the tapping technique in addition to the supervised exercise protocol on pain intensity and functional status of an individual with patella-femoral arthritis.

Conditions

  • Patellofemoral Osteoarthritis

Interventions

OTHER

Taping technique

Fixmull stretch and Leukotape (rigid tape) were used in taping to guide the patellar trajectory orientation while performing the movement. Individuals were asked to lay down in supine position with knee in a slightly bent position. Fixomull stretch was used as an adhesive pre-wrap to protect the skin and provide some of the checking force. The main check strap was provided by stripes of rigid tape (Leukotape). The knee cap was taped, started on the outer aspect of the knee cap and pulled inwards. Finished at the back of the inside of the knee. Two further pieces of tape (Fixomull Stretch and Leukotape) applied distal to the patella unloaded the infrapatellar fat pad.
