Brief Summary

Detailed Description

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common degenerative joint disease with pathological structural and functional disorders all over the world. 27 million patients diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the USA alone.(1-2) The primary risk factor for OA is age however ; It is a multifactorial disease, including injury and genetic mutations.(3-6) The knee is the most commonly involved joint in OA. In the United States, about 14 million people is presumed to have symptomatic knee osteoarthritis. Typical OA manifests as joint pain which is exacerbated by activity and relieved by rest. In advanced stage, pain at rest and at night and morning stiffness lasting no more than 20-30 minutes can be seen. (2) The diagnosis is based on a detailed anamnesis, a complete physical examination, and diagnostic imaging. Imaging findings include joint space narrowing, osteophytes, pseudocyst and subchondral sclerosis in the subchondral bone.(9) Pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments are applied. Exercise, conventional physical therapy ( hotpack, therapeutic ultrasound, tens) and kinesioband are some of the non-pharmacological treatments.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
intervention group 2	kinesio taping and exercise	30 patient with osteoartritis will do knee strengthening exercise for half an hour a day,3 days a week. This exercise program will continue for 4 weeks. Also they will receive kinesio tape for their knee three times a week for two week
intervention group 1	physical therapy modalities and exercise	30 patient with osteoartritis will do knee strengthening exercise for half an hour a day,3 days a week. This exercise program will continue for 4 weeks. Also they will receive physical therapy modalities during two weeks for ten times. physical therapy modalities include hotpack, tens, ultrasound.
control group	exercise	30 patient with osteoartritis will do knee strengthening exercise for half an hour a day,3 days a week. This exercise program will continue for 4 weeks.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
tampa scala of kinesiophobia	four weeks	It is developed to measure the fear of movement and reinjury. The scale will be measured at the beginning of the study and at the end of the fourth week, which corresponds to the end of the treatment
thickness of the quadriceps muscle	four weeks	Muscle hypertrophy is expected with regular isometric and isotonic exercises. In order to investigate the muscle effect of the treatments, the thickness of the quadriceps muscle will be measured with an ultrasound device. Measurement will be made at the beginning of the study and at the end of the fourth week, which corresponds to the end of the treatment

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
western ontario and mcmaster universities osteoarthritis index	four weeks	The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) is a widely used, to evaluate the condition of patients with osteoarthritis of the knee and hip, including pain, stiffness, and physical functioning of the joints. Measurement will be made at the beginning of the study and at the end of the fourth week, which corresponds to the end of the treatment
visual analog scale	four weeks	The visual analog scale (VAS) is used to measure pain. The patient indicates where his/her condition is appropriate above a 100 mm line. For example, for pain, there is no pain at one end and very severe pain at the other end, and the patient marks his/her condition on this line. Measurement will be made at the beginning of the study and at the end of the fourth week, which corresponds to the end of the treatment
