简要总结
This study's aim was:
- To determine the effects of kinesio taping and dry needling on pain, ROMs, functional mobility, and quality of life in knee OA patients.
详细描述
This was a randomized clinical trial in which Grade 1, 2 Knee Osteoarthritis patients were randomized into two groups: Group-A and Group-B. Group-A participants received Kinesio taping while Group-B participants received dry needling as an adjunct to the conventional physical therapy treatment. The intervention was carried out for four weeks with frequency of two sessions per week. Outcome measures were assessed at baseline, after two weeks, and after 4 weeks, using Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), Knee Range of Motion (ROM), and SF-12 Quality of Life Questionnaire.

结局指标
主要结局
Pain Score
时间窗: Baseline, after 2 weeks, and after 4 weeks.
Pain was measured using Visual Analog Scale on a score from zero (0=no pain) to ten (10=worst pain possible).
Knee ROM
时间窗: Baseline, after 2 weeks, and after 4 weeks.
Knee ROM (flexion and extension) was assessed using universal goniometer.
次要结局
- Quality of Life Score(Baseline, after 2 weeks, and after 4 weeks.)
- WOMAC Score(Baseline, after 2 weeks, and after 4 weeks.)
