Effect of Taping on a Home Program of Hip Abductor Exercise on Pain and Quadriceps Muscle Strength in Elderly Women with Knee Osteoarthritis

Abstract

PURPOSE: This study was conducted to determine the effects of taping on a home program of hip abductor exercise on pain and quadriceps muscle strength during knee joint osteoarthritis. METHODS: The subjects were 24 elderly women aged over 65 years with knee joint osteoarthritis. Twenty-four subjects were divided into two groups of 12. The intervention was conducted three times a week for six weeks. The control group underwent a home program of hip abductor exercise, while the experimental group underwent taping applied to a home program of hip abductor exercise. The measurement factors were knee joint pain and quadriceps muscle strength.

Comparative effects of combined physical therapy with Kinesio taping and physical therapy in patients with knee osteoarthritis: a systematic review and meta-analysis

“…11,15,17 –20 Two studies used manual therapy, 10,18 and eight studies used exercise training in the treatment programs. 11,13,14,16,20 –23 Moreover, seven studies com-bined more than two types of physical therapies. 10,11,15,17 –20…”

“…In the 15 studies, the follow-up after initial treatments ranged from three days to 15 weeks. Subjective pain reduction score was measured in 14 of 15 studies: 12 studies used the visual analogue scale, 10 –13,15 –20,23,24 and the remaining two studies used numeric pain rating scale. 14,22 A functional scale was used in 12 studies.…”

“…According to their research, Kinesio tape would not interfere with physical therapy because the interferential current therapy or hot pack was used before Kinesio taping and the device used to deliver magnetic field therapy did not contact the tape. Studies by Dhanakotti et al 14 and Choi 13 showed that exercises in their studies were arranged for participants after Kinesio taping application. On the basis of these studies, the researchers suggest that to achieve good therapeutic effects, Kinesio taping should be applied before exercise and before or after modality therapy.…”

Does kinesio taping plus exercise improve pain and function in patients with knee osteoarthritis?: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

“…The 35 full text articles were evaluated in full texts according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Finally, 16 studies were included to perform the meta-analysis (Malgaonkar and Rizvi, 2014;Castrogiovanni et al, 2016;Dhanakotti et al, 2016;Sarallahi et al, 2016;Sedhom, 2016;Aydogdu et al, 2017;Saswadkar et al, 2017;Taheri et al, 2017;Tripathi and Hande, 2017;Bao et al, 2018;Choi, 2018;Günaydin and Bayrakci Tunay, 2020;Leon-Ballesteros et al, 2020;Varma and Purohit, 2020;Danazumi et al, 2021;Oguz et al, 2021). In the excluded articles, no exercise was performed on ten studies, two were cross-sectional studies, one was a comment study, two were self-control studies, two studies were not randomized, one study had no data and one study had only one group (details were shown in Supplementary File S3).…”
