简要总结
The aim of this study is to determine instant effect of kinesiology taping applied to the rectus femoris on muscle activation, physical performance and proprioception in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
详细描述
40 patients with knee OA will be included in the study. Intervention group and placebo group will be formed. Facilitation taping will be applied on the rectus femoris of the patients in the taping group. The patients in the placebo group will be placed tape on the rectus femoris without any tension. Muscle activation, physical performance and proprioception will be evaluated before taping and 30 minutes after taping.

结局指标
主要结局
muscle activation
时间窗: 5 minutes
The muscular activation of the Rectus Femoris will be measured with the EMG (Euro Track MyoPlus 4) device before and after the taping application. With the patient in the sitting position with the hip and knee flexed to 90 degrees, active electrodes will be placed on the motor point of the muscle, three measurements will be made, and the highest MVIC value will be recorded.
次要结局
- 5 times sit-to-stand test(1 minutes)
- proprioception(5 minutes)
- timed up and go test(5 minutes)
- WOMAC (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index)(5 minutes)
