Summary

This study's aim was:

\- To determine the effects of kinesio taping and dry needling on pain, ROMs, functional mobility, and quality of life in knee OA patients.

Conditions

  • Osteoarthritis, Knee

Interventions

OTHER

Kinesio Taping

One Y-shaped strap with 25% stretch was applied from the mid third of the thigh over the rectus femoris, then its ends directed toward the tibial tuberosity by enwrapping the patella from lateral and medial sides. In 45° knee flexion one eye strap from medial to lateral was applied through the collateral medial and lateral ligaments. For the facilitation of VMO 1 eye strap with 25% stretch from medial aspect of thigh to quadriceps tendon. Lastly, 1 eye strap with 25% stretch from tibial tuberosity to lateral aspect of thigh for inhibition of Vastus lateralis

OTHER

Dry Needling

Following a protocol according to patient and limb, the tensor fasciae latae, hip adductors, hamstrings, quadriceps, gastrocnemius, and popliteus muscles were properly examined in each subject. These muscles are frequently involved in muscle-related knee pain. Patients with knee OA who had at least one active MTrP that produced pain were recruited. Patients received a total of 8 DN sessions (2 sessions per week for 4 weeks) at all MTrPs of the lower limbs using the fast-in and fast-out technique (the needle was moved up and down within the muscle).
