简要总结
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.
详细描述
Non-pharmacological treatments are recommended as first-line management in knee osteoarthritis. Kinesiotape was regarded as a supplementary intervention for patients with knee osteoarthritis. Although the results are conflicting, regarding knee osteoarthritis, recently published studies indicate beneficial effects of kinesiotape on knee-related health status, pain, quadriceps muscle strength, and range of motion. On the other hand, the measurements were performed immediately following taping or within a short-term period. The inconsistency of the study data still indicates that the efficacy of kinesiotape in knee osteoarthritis should be evaluated in randomized controlled trials. Therefore a study that investigates both short and long-term follow-up results are warranted.
This study aimed to determine the immediate and long-term effects of the single and repetitive application of kinesiotape on pain, knee joint range of motion, postural stability, and physical performance in participants with knee osteoarthritis. The results of this study will support evidence-based reports based on the effectiveness of kinesiotape in knee osteoarthritis and recommendations for future studies.

结局指标
主要结局
Change from Baseline Pain intensity-rest at 1st hour, 3rd week, and 7th week
时间窗: Baseline (week 0), 1st hour, 3rd week, 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).
Change from Baseline Pain intensity-activity at 1st hour, 3rd week, and 7th week
时间窗: Baseline (week 0), 1st hour, 3rd week , 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).
