Purpose: To identify the effectiveness of kinesiotape over knee joint in knee osteoarthritis
patients. Hypotheses: Kinesiotape along with conventional physiotherapy is more
effective than only conventional physiotherapy for the treatment of osteoarthritis of knee
joint. Null hypotheses: Kinesiotape along with conventional physiotherapy is not more
effective than only conventional physiotherapy for the treatment of osteoarthritis of knee
joint. Objectives: To find out the effectiveness of kinesiotape over knee joint in knee
osteoarthritis patients in terms of physical disability, pain intensity, ROM and muscle
power. Methodology: The study is a single blind Randomized Control Trail (RCT). The
patients were selected from the outpatient musculoskeletal unit and 20 patients with OA of
knee were randomly selected and then 10 patients with OA of knee were randomly assigned
to experimental group and the other 10 patients were selected to the control group for this
RCT study. The study has been conducted at musculoskeletal department of CRP, Savar.
Outcome measurement tools: Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis
Index (WOMAC) was used to measure the physical disability of the participants,
Numerical pain rating scale (NPRS) was used to measure pain ,Goniometer was used to
measure range of motion and manual muscle testing scale was used to measure muscle
power. Analysis of data: Inferential statistics such as Mann-Whitney U test and Wilcoxon
test was done using SPSS version 20. Results: From this research it was observed that
physical disability score and pain intensity were decreased both in experimental and control
group. In WOMAC score, only lying in bed variable (U=19, p=0.007) was significant in
experimental group. No significant effect was found in range of motion of both in
experimental and control group. Improvement of muscle power was not significant in
manual muscle testing scale in experimental group.
Conclusions: The research showed that the effectiveness of kinesiotape over knee joint
along with conventional physiotherapy is not more effective than only conventional
physiotherapy in knee osteoarthritis patients.
Key words: Kinesiotape, Knee joint, Osteoarthritis. |
