Summary

The purpose of this study was to find the most effective treatment out of both techniques; Dry needling and Kinesio Taping for treating knee osteoarthritis (OA) in terms of pain, strength, and balance

Conditions

  • Osteo Arthritis Knee
  • Quadriceps Muscle Atrophy

Interventions

OTHER

Kinesio tapping

The subject will be in the supine position and receive Kinesio taping. The Kinesio tape application with no tension one Y strip with a length of 20 cm, an anchor of 2 cm. The Kinesio tape will be applied to the participants in supine with the knee in 90 flexions. Two Y-shaped tapes are applied above and below the patella. The tape will be removed after 48 hours after application. The Kinesio tape will be applied 3 times a week for 4 weeks.

OTHER

Dry Needling

The subject will be in the supine position and receive dry needling. The first point will be at the medial femoral condyle of the knee joint line in vastus medialis muscles. The second point will be at the lateral femoral condyle of the knee joint line in vastus lateralis muscles. The third point will be above the base of the patella in the rectus femoris muscle. The fourth point will be 2cm above the third point in rectus femoris muscles. These four points were the most common places of trigger point at quadriceps muscles. Dry needling is affected on A-delta fibers. Therefore when superficial dry needling with a noxious stimulation leads to stimulation on A-delta fibers, the excitation remains almost 72 hours and gradually decreases. The standard 9- point dry needling technique will be applied for 20 minutes per session 3 times a week for 4 weeks.
