简要总结
Knee osteoarthritis is the most common kind of arthritis that occurs due to degeneration of the joint articular cartilage, producing pain, stiffness, and impaired movement. Kinesio taping is a simple and inexpensive therapeutic procedure that can help with knee osteoarthritis symptoms. Kinesio taping is a high-stretch elastic adhesive material that allows the treated area to have free mobility. This technique was preferred by physical therapists for knee osteoarthritis rehabilitation because of its positive effects, such as decreased pain and increased mobility and muscular performance.

结局指标
主要结局
NUMERICAL PAIN RATING SCALE
时间窗: 6 weeks
The average pain intensity was measured during the past week, with zero representing no pain and ten representing the worst pain.
WESTERN ONTARIO AND MCMASTER UNIVERSITIES OSTEOARTHRITIS INDEX (WOMAC)
时间窗: 6 weeks
The questionnaire was developed to measure treatment outcomes in patients with lower extremity osteoarthritis, such as pain, stiffness, and difficulty, and it employs a scale to categorize the difficulties in activities of daily living. For individuals with hip and knee osteoarthritis, the WOMAC scale is a valid and reliable outcome measurement.
GONIOMETRIC MEASUREMENT OF KNEE RANGE OF MOTION
时间窗: 6 weeks
Both the knee flexion and extension ROM were measured while the subject was in a prone position. The measurement was done three times and the average result was obtained.
TIMED UP AND GO (TUG) TEST
时间窗: 6 weeks
The test combines static and dynamic balance to assess a person's mobility. Getting out of a chair, walking three meters, turning around, and returning to the chair to sit. The international research OA society recommends a series of physical function measures (five performance-based) for individual with hip or knee OA, including the TUG test.24 The aforementioned outcome parameters are measured at three-time intervals: 0-week, 3-week, and 6-week.
