简要总结
Aim of the study is to understand the efficacy of Mulligan rotational taping on outcomes like pain, knee range of motion, foot posture and gait parameters in individuals with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis. Subjects after fulfulling the selection criteria, will be stratified according to the Kellgren-Lawrence grading system of Osteoarthritis of knee including grade 2 and 3. They will be then randomly allocated to experimental and control group. Outcome measures will be assessed prior to intervention. The experimental group will be given intervention i.e. Mulligan rotational tape and the control group will be applied a placebo tape. Duration of intervention is 1 week, following which outcomes will be re-assessed after removal of the tape. Pain will be assessed using Visual Analogue scale, Knee range of motion using universal goniometer, Foot posture using FPI-6 index and gait parameters will be assessed using a portable mobile application called Equilibrium having gait sensor technology developed by Vayu technology.
The study hypothesises that Mulligan rotational taping will be effective than placebo taping in improving the pain, knee range of motion, foot posture and gait parameters in medial compartment knee osteoarthritis.
