Abstract Tittle: Effect of Inhibitory Kinesio Taping Technique on pain and functional disability in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis.
Background: Knee Osteoarthritis is a common condition which represents a major contribution to burden of physical disability. Prevalence increases with age and affects 33% of individuals over the age of 65 years.
Objective: To study effect of inhibitory kinesio taping technique on Pain using visual analogue Scale and Functional disability using knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score among patients with knee osteoarthritis.
Subjects and Method: 76 participants were recruited according to selection criteria and were randomly allocated to inhibitory kinesiotaping for group A (n=38) and conventional group B (n=38). Both group underwent quadriceps strength training for 60 minutes, 3 times per week for 4 weeks along with stationary bicycle for 10 mins and illiotibial Band stretching.
Result: After training both groups showed extremely significant (p < 0.0001) improvement in terms of Visual analogue scale and Knee injury and osteoarthritis scale . On comparison between two groups, it was observed that there was no statistically significant difference between two groups in terms of Visual analogue scale and there was extremely significant difference between groups in terms of Knee injury and osteoarthritis scale.
Conclusion: study concludes that inhibitory kinesiotaping technique is significant and effective in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
Keywords Inhibitory kinesio taping, knee osteoarthritis , visual analogue scale , knee injury and osteoarthiritis outcome score.
