Actual (reported)The aim of this research is to compare the effects of I-shape and fan shape kinesiotape techniques on pain, range of motion, grip strength and ADLs of patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Randomized controlled trials done at Pain Clinic, Rawalpindi and Fauji Foundation Hospital, Rawalpindi. The sample size was 66. The subjects were divided in three groups, 22 subjects in control group receiving conventional physical therapy treatment, 22 subjects in second group with I-Band application of kinesiotaping and 22 in the third group with fan-shaped application of kinesiotaping. Study duration was of 6 months. Sampling technique applied was non-probability convenience sampling. Only 25-50 years symptomatic female patients with established RA were included. Tools used in the study are Michigan Hand Outcome Questionnaire (MHQ), Numeric Pain Raiting Scale, Dynamometer and Goniometer. Data was be analyzed through SPSS 21.

Balanced resistive hand exercise with use of physio hand ball squeezes
Participants will receive exercise interventions as group A along with that the Kinesiotape, by using I application technique from proximal to distal on dorsum of hand and forearm.
Participants will receive a Hand exercise program including 8 different movements according to Flat 20 (flexion, extension, radial deviation of the fingers, dorsal flexion, palmar flexion, ulnar deviation of the fingers, and opposition and abduction of thumbs. Repetitions include 5 times during each session, as given in the study. Balanced resistive hand exercise with use of physio hand ball squeezes including finger abduction and adduction exercises with MCP extended and gross grip. Each contraction to be held for 3-5 seconds with a 20-second rest between contractions. Five repetitions of each resistive exercise will be done.

Actual (reported)Participants will receive exercise interventions as group A along with that the Kinesiotape will be applied, by using fan cut application technique on MCP joints involving extensor tendons of fingers on dorsal surface of both hands of subjects
Participants will receive Kinesiotape, by using I application technique from proximal to distal on dorsum of hand and forearm with less than 50% stretch of the subjects on both hands, once a week for a total time period of 4 weeks with 4 KT applications in total (19). Kinesiotape will be worn by the subjects for 3 days. basic hand exercises will accompny it. Weekly assessments will be completed for pain, ROM, joint stiffness, grip strength and ADLs.
