Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of Kinesio Taping in individuals with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). KOA is a common condition that can lead to pain, stiffness, and decreased mobility. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does Kinesio Taping reduce pain in individuals with KOA?
* Can Kinesio Taping improve the range of motion and functional performance in those suffering from KOA?

Participants will be asked to:

Attend assessment sessions at the outpatient Physical Therapy clinic at Taibah University.

Undergo Kinesio Taping three times over 12 days. Complete specific physical tests and questionnaires before and after the intervention period to measure their pain and mobility.

Researchers will compare the group that receives Kinesio Taping with the group that receives sham (placebo) taping to see if there are significant differences in pain reduction and improvements in movement and daily function.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Elastic tape ( kinesio tape)

This group will receive the tape on their quadriceps femoris muscle. First, the tape will be cut in a Y-shaped Kinesio type and then applied over the quadriceps femoris muscle. The tape will be applied at a point of 5 cm inferior to the anterior superior iliac spine to the patella (origin to insertion), with the patient in a supine position with 25% tension on the tape. Then, each patient will flex his or her knee, and the Y-shaped tape (the end of the tape) will be circled around the patella, ending at its inferior side with no tension.

OTHER

Sham Taping

Sham taping will be applied horizontally across the muscle fibers without any stretching. the tape here will be applied transverse to the quadriceps femoris muscle. The patients will be in a supine position with their hips flexed at 30 degrees and their knees flexed at 60 degrees.
