• Conditions: Osgood-Schlatter Disease

• Registration Number: NCT06993363
• Lead Sponsor: Cairo University

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).

Detailed Description

60 patients will be participated in this study. The patients of both genders with age ranges from 18 -25 years old. The sample will randomly be divided into two groups.

Group A: will receive strengthening exercise for quadriceps muscle and stretching exercises for hamstring and calf muscles Group B: will receive kinesoatping, strengthening exercises for quadriceps muscle and stretching exercises for hamstring and calf muscles .

All subject will receive the treatment for 6 weeks, All subjects will assign consent form before starting this study and will be explained the purpose of this study before any application.

Outcome measurements:

1. Quadriceps muscles strength will be assessed by hand held dynamotor.

2. Pain intensity will be measured by visual analog scale.

3. Disability function of knee will be measured by lower extremity functional scale (LEFS-Ar).

4. Range of motion of knee joint will be measured by smart phone application for range of motion measurement.

Data will be collected prior to first session as pre-test measure and at the end of last treatment session as post-test treatment.
