NCT05707000

Brief Summary

The aim of this research is to determine the Effects of facilitatory Kinesio-taping and concentric quadriceps strengthening on gait parameters in knee osteoarthritis. Randomized clinical trials will be done at Physio Experts Clinic, Islamabad. The sample size is 38. The subjects were divided in two groups, with 19 subjects in Group A and 19 in Group B. Study duration was of 6 months. Sampling technique applied was Non probability Convenience Sampling technique. Both males and females of aged 50-60 years with Knee OA grade 2 or 3 were included. Tools used in the study are Numeric Pain Rating Score (NPRS), dynamometer, WOMAC questionnaire and Mobile app for measuring Temporospatial gait parameters.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Temporo-spatial Gait Parameters:

    Measurement of temporospatial gait parameters (gait velocity, cadence, step length, step width and single support time) and their assessment, and calculating normalized values using the mobile app

    6 week

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Numeric Pain Rating Score (NPRS):

    6 week

  • Functional Status (WOMAC Questionnaire):

    6 week

  • Strength

    6 week

Study Arms (2)

group A, Concentric Muscle Training

EXPERIMENTAL

leg press, knee flexion, knee extension, Quad drills with 1 RM

Other: group A concentric muscle training

group B, Quadriceps Facilitatory Kinesiotaping

EXPERIMENTAL

kinesiotaping on the quadriceps muscle in the faciliatory mode

Other: Group B fascilitatory kinesiotaping

Interventions

group A concentric muscle trainingOTHER

One set of each of the following exercises will completed during each session: * leg press, * knee flexion, * knee extension, * Quad drills For each set, 12 repetitions will be performed at a resistance load of 60% of the one-repetition maximum (1RM) for that exercise. The exercises will be performed 2 times a week for 6 weeks.

group A, Concentric Muscle Training
Group B fascilitatory kinesiotapingOTHER

Kinesiotaping is applied on the anterior thigh (quadriceps) region starting at 1/5 of the distance between anterosuperior iliac spine (ASIS) and tibia tuberosity. The tape is applied with 20% tension of the tape. The tape was tensioned from proximal region of mid quadriceps down to tibia tuberosity and, once it reached the knee, the tape was divided in the middle allowing it to circle the joint

group B, Quadriceps Facilitatory Kinesiotaping
