knee osteoarthritis, pain
KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS
Kinesio taping plus conventional physical therapy showed statistically significant effects on pain reduction, increased range of motion, and improved functional activity in the third week and was similarly effective in the sixth week of treatment in patients with knee osteoarthritis. TENS and exercise programs for knee osteoarthritis patients have also been proven to be safe and effective, mainly reducing pain, and improving ROM. Kinesio taping could be an alternate therapy option for knee OA, particularly if an immediate effect is desired.
