Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • muscle activation

    The muscular activation of the Rectus Femoris will be measured with the EMG (Euro Track MyoPlus 4) device before and after the taping application. With the patient in the sitting position with the hip and knee flexed to 90 degrees, active electrodes will be placed on the motor point of the muscle, three measurements will be made, and the highest MVIC value will be recorded.

    5 minutes

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • timed up and go test

    5 minutes

  • 5 times sit-to-stand test

    1 minutes

  • proprioception

    5 minutes

  • WOMAC (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index)

Study Arms (2)

taping group

EXPERIMENTAL

Facilitation taping will be applied to the rectus femoris of patients with knee OA in the taping group.

Other: kinesiology tape

placebo group

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

The patients with knee OA in the placebo group will be placed tape on the rectus femoris without any tension.

Other: Placebo tape

Interventions

kinesiology tapeOTHER

The tape will be fixed without any tension 10 cm below the origin of the rectus femoris muscle. Then 35-50% tension will be applied to the band and descended to the patella. After this point, the Y-shaped band will be terminated to wrap the patella medially and laterally without any tension.

taping group
Placebo tapeOTHER

The tape will attach to the rectus femoris without any tension.
