Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of adding kinesotaping to quadriceps strengthening exercises on muscle strength, pain, function and range of motion of knee joint in patients with Osgood-Schlatter disease (OSD).

  at first week and after 6 weeks of treatment

• Change in functional disability

  at first week and after 6 weeks of treatment

• Knee joint range of motion

  at first week and after 6 weeks of treatment

Study Arms (2)

Group A

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients will receive strengthening exercises to quadriceps muscle and stretching exercises to hamstring and calf muscles

Other: Quadriceps Strengthening; Other: Hamstring and calf stretching exercise

Group B

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients will receive kinesotaping, strengthening exercises to quadriceps muscle and stretching exercises to hamstring and calf muscles

Other: Quadriceps Strengthening; Other: Hamstring and calf stretching exercise; Other: Kinesotaping application

Interventions

Quadriceps Strengthening OTHER

Static Quad Pull the toes up towards your shin, push your knee into the bed to tighten the quad muscles. This should cause your heel to slightly lift off the bed. Hold for 7 seconds. Repeat on affected leg. Straight leg raising * Lie on back with hips square and legs laid out comfortably on the floor * Bend the knee of non-injured leg at a 90-degree angle, planting the foot flatly on the floor. * Stabilize the muscles on your straight leg by contracting your quadriceps (the group of muscles on the front of your thigh). * Inhaling slowly, lift the straight leg six inches off the ground. * Hold for three seconds. * Exhaling slowly, lower the leg to the floor with control * Relax and repeat 10 times more.

Group A; Group B

Hamstring and calf stretching exercise OTHER

Hamstring stretching exercise will be done in the long sitting position. The patient will be instructed to keep his affected knee always extended while folding the other leg to the side then he will bend his trunk forward as much as he could in order to touch his toes by his fingers. Calf muscle stretching: The patient will be positioned in the long-sitting with the knees extended. The patient will be instructed to pull his foot into dorsiflexion as much as he could with the assistance of a rolled towel holding this position for 30 seconds (Fig14). The patient will then be instructed to go back to starting position and relax for 30 seconds. This exercise will be done 5 times per session.

Group A; Group B

Kinesotaping application OTHER

1 full 25cm strip of KT Tape cut in half. Apply one hour before beginning activity. Clean dirt, oils and lotions from area. After application rub tape vigorously to activate adhesive. Bend the knee at a 90 degree angle Anchor the middle of a half strip of tape diagonally over the point of pain with 80% stretch. Apply ends of tape without stretch. Anchor the middle of a second half strip across the first strip to form an X pattern over the point of pain with 80% stretch.

Group B
