| Abstract | ||||
| Background: One of the most frequent chronic joint illnesses is knee osteoarthritis (OA). Treatments for OA concentrate on reducing pain and other symptoms as well as improving function. Deficiency of proprioception has been demonstrated to result in abnormal pressure building up in the adjacent tissue, it might lead to an erroneous feeling of joint position and raise the risk of injury. Kinesiology taping (KT) has many different physiological mechanisms that can reduce pain in patient with knee OA. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the influence of combined kinsiotaping and proprioceptive training on knee painin patients with knee OA. Materials and Methods: Thirty-six patients with knee joint osteoarthritis of both sexes were enrolled in this study. Their ages ranged from 45 to 65 years. Patients were divided into equal groups (18 patients each). Pain was assessed by VAS. Results: The study findings revealed that there was great enhancement in the variable in both groups A and B after therapy compared to before treatment (p=0.001). After therapy, there were obvious changes in VAS values among groups (P = 0.001). Statistical analysis showed significant improvement in the study group regarding pain in comparison with the control group after treatment (p = 0.001). Conclusion: combined kinsiotaping and proprioception training proved to be more effective than proprioceptive training only in improving pain in knee OA | ||||
