Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to compare the effects of kinesio taping and rigid taping in Knee Osteoarthritis to alleviate symptoms like pain, reduce range of motion and functional limitations. A randomized control trial was conducted at Atta Memorial Hospital, Airport Society, Rawalpindi and Makkah Medical Complex, Rawalpindi. The sample size was 36 calculated through G-Power. The participants were divided into two interventional groups each having 18 participants. The study duration was six months. Sampling technique applied was Non probability convenient sampling. Only 40 to 60 years' participants with grade 1-3 Knee Osteoarthritis according to kellgren-Lawrence scale were included in the study. Tools used in this study are Visual analogue scale, WOMAC Index, timed up and go test and Goniometer self-structured Questionnaire. Data was collected before and immediately after the application of intervention on First day and then again at the end of session on 14th and 28th day. Data analyzed through SPSS version 23.

Interventions

Kinesio Tape Group OTHER

Physiotherapy Protocol Followed: * Hot pack and TENS application for 10 minutes. * Knee isometric exercises by placing roller beneath knee joint and pressing it by keeping leg straight and holding it for 10-15 seconds with 10 repetitions. * Stretching of hamstrings and gastrocnemius muscles, maintaining stretch for 20 seconds and 7 repetitions should be performed. * Tibio-femoral glides and patellar mobilizations will be performed. * At the end kinesio taping will be performed at knee joint for inhibition. Same procedure will be followed in all follow ups at day 1, day 14 and day 28.
