Summary

Kinesiotape is one of the treatment choices for the patients with knee osteoarthritis. Unlike the brace, it seems to be an important advantage in kinesiotape application in that it permits the movement of the joint. However, kinesiotape is conditionally recommended for knee osteoarthritis in the 2019 American College of Rheumatology treatment recommendations due to limiting the quality of evidence, using various application methods, and the lack of blindness concerning its use is not possible.

The aim of the study is to determine the effects of kinesiotaping on pain, physical performance, knee range of motion, and postural stability in knee osteoarthritis.

Conditions

  • Osteoarthritis, Knee

Interventions

DEVICE

Kinesiotape

The participants received kinesiotape application three times with one-week intervals. Y strip tape was used. The interventionist applied the band to the rectus femoris muscle with facilitation technique.

DEVICE

Sham-kinesiotape

The participants received sham-kinesiotape application three times with one-week intervals. In the sham group, the interventionist adhered KT to the rectus femoris transversely, without stretching.

OTHER

Home-based exercise program

Participants were taught exercise program training. The exercise intervention was based on quadriceps and knee flexor muscle group strengthening, and knee joint range of motion exercises, in their home.
