Brief 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

Keywords

Knee osteoarthritis; Kinesiotape; Pain

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Change from Baseline Pain intensity-rest at 1st hour, 3rd week, and 7th week

  Pain intensity was assessed by using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Each patient was asked to indicate pain intensity during rest at each assessment point (on a 0-10 points numerical pain rating scale; higher scores indicate severe pain).

  Baseline (week 0), 1st hour, 3rd week, 7th week

• Change from Baseline Pain intensity-activity at 1st hour, 3rd week, and 7th week

  Pain intensity was assessed by using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Each patient was asked to indicate pain intensity during 50-meter walking test at each assessment point (on a 0-10 points numerical pain rating scale; higher scores indicate severe pain).

  Baseline (week 0), 1st hour, 3rd week , 7th week

Secondary Outcomes (5)

• Change from Baseline Knee-Related Health Status at 1st hour, 3rd week, and 7th week

  Baseline (week 0), 1st hour, 3rd week , 7th week

• Change from Baseline Pain-free Knee Range of Motion at 1st hour, 3rd week, and 7th week

  Baseline (week 0), 1st hour, 3rd week , 7th week

• Change from Baseline Physical Function at 1st hour, 3rd week, and 7th week

  Baseline (week 0), 1st hour, 3rd week , 7th week

• Change from Baseline Static Postural Stability at 1st hour, 3rd week, and 7th week

  Baseline (week 0), 1st hour, 3rd week , 7th week

• Change from Baseline Dynamic Postural Stability at 1st hour, 3rd week, and 7th week

  Baseline (week 0), 1st hour, 3rd week , 7th week

Study Arms (2)

Kinesiotape

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The participants received kinesiotape to the rectus femoris muscle.

Device: Kinesiotape; Other: Home-based exercise program

Sham-kinesiotape

SHAM COMPARATOR

Non-specific taping was applied.

Device: Sham-kinesiotape; Other: Home-based exercise program

Interventions

Kinesiotape DEVICE

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.

Kinesiotape

Sham-kinesiotape DEVICE

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.

Sham-kinesiotape

Home-based exercise program OTHER

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.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 40 Years - 65 Years
• Gender Eligibility Details: As the pain intensity and pain threshold may be effected by the gender differences, the enrolled participants were consisted of females.

You may qualify if:

• Pain for a minimum of 3 months
• Pain intensity within the last week minimum of 3 according to the visual analogue scale (VAS) at the symptomatic knee
• Grade 2-3 knee OA according to the Kellgren and Lawrence Scale
• Ability to perform the tests

You may not qualify if:

• Fragile, very sensitive skin, or lesions in the area
• Inflammatory arthritis
• Inability to perform functional tests
• Pregnancy
• Use of drugs associated with a psychiatric disorder
• Previous joint replacement surgery for knee/hip joints
• Diagnosis with balance disorder
• Disorders that may cause loss of muscle strength in the lower extremities
• Previous experience with the Kinesiotaping method
