Summary

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.

Detailed description

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.

Conditions

• Osteoarthritis, Knee

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	kinesiology tape	The tape will be fixed without any tension 10 cm below the origin of the rectus femoris muscle. Then 35-50% tension will be applied to the band and descended to the patella. After this point, the Y-shaped band will be terminated to wrap the patella medially and laterally without any tension.
OTHER	Placebo tape	The tape will attach to the rectus femoris without any tension.
