简要总结
The prevalence of knee osteoarthritis has been increasing in recent decades as the number of obese people has increased. Various interventions are used to improve the functional condition of patients, but it is still not clear which one is most effective. The primary aim of this study was to determine and compare the effects of kinesio taping and sham taping on the knee functional mobility.
详细描述
The investigators assigned 30 adult participants (26 women, 4 men; mean age 58,1±3,9 yrs) from Lithuania. Participants were assigned to one of three groups: control group (CON) (n = 10), sham taping + exercise (STE) (n = 10), and kinesio taping + exercise (KTE) group (n = 10). Participants performed all necessary tests according to the study protocol one week before the intervention. A second set of tests was performed one week after the intervention. The intervention duration was 1 week. Exercise, sham and kinesio taping were applied by Physical Therapist. All the study groups did exercise training.

研究组 & 干预措施
Control group
Participants underwent 3 exercise sessions for 60 minutes each. Exercise program was created to improve range of motion and muscle strength. Participants executed active exercise in lying, sitting, and standing positions, isometric exercise, exercise with resistance band. All exercises were repeated 12 times in 3 sets and depending on the capacity of the subject. Breaks between sets 10 sec.
Sham taping
Participants underwent 3 exercise sessions for 60 minutes each. Exercise program was created to improve range of motion and muscle strength. Participants executed active exercise in lying, sitting, and standing positions, isometric exercise, exercise with resistance band. All exercises were repeated 12 times in 3 sets and depending on the capacity of the subject. Breaks between sets 10 sec.

Kinesio taping
Participants underwent 3 exercise sessions for 60 minutes each. Exercise program was created to improve range of motion and muscle strength. Participants executed active exercise in lying, sitting, and standing positions, isometric exercise, exercise with resistance band. All exercises were repeated 12 times in 3 sets, 10 s breaks between sets.

结局指标
主要结局
Change from Baseline Knee Pain at 1 week
时间窗: Baseline and after 7 days
was evaluated using the Visual Analogue Pain Scale (VAS). Participants were asked to report "current" pain intensity. A higher score indicates greater pain intensity: no pain (0-4 mm), mild pain (5-44 mm), moderate pain (45-74 mm), and severe pain (75- 100 mm).
Change from Baseline Range of Motions at 1 week
时间窗: Baseline and after 7 days
A goniometer was used to measure the flexion and extension of the knee joint. The initial position of the subject is prone lying, the axis of goniometer is placed on the lateral femoral epicondyle. The stationary part of goniometer is placed along the lateral midline of the thigh, the reference point being the greater trochanter of femur. The moving part of goniometer is placed along the midline of the lower leg, the reference point being the lateral ankle.
Change from Baseline Muscle Strength at 1 week
时间窗: Baseline and after 7 days
Manual muscle strength testing. The strength of knee flexion and extension was evaluated (Cuthbert, \& Goodheart, 2007). The classic 5-point manual muscle strength assessment system is used to determine muscle strength. If for some reason participant could not perform the full range of motion, then the muscle strength test is performed at the possible amplitude.
Change from Baseline Functional Mobility at 1 week
时间窗: Baseline and after 7 days
Initial position was participant sitting on the chair. The patient had to get up from the chair, walk three meters to the marked line, turn around 180 degrees, and return to the chair, and sit down on the chair. During the test, the person must wear normal footwear and use all means of movement normally required. The test was performed 5 times and the average of 5 tests was calculated. The height of the chair used was 46 cm and the test time was recorded in seconds (Alghadir et al., 2015).
Change from Baseline Walking Speed at 1 week
时间窗: Baseline and after 7 days
A 10-meter straight line was marked in the start and finish points. The subject had to stand 2 meters in front of the start line, after the signal participant was told to walk at his/her own speed until he/she was 2 meters behind the finish line. The timer was turned on when the patient crossed the start line and stopped when he/she crossed the finish line. The test was performed 5 times and the average calculated. Time was recorded in seconds and converted to meters per second (Master et al., 2021).
