Summary

The study aims the Role of Resisted Exercise and Kinesiology Taping in Managing Knee Osteoarthritis in Overweight and Obese Individuals.

Detailed description

The study focuses on understanding Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic progressive disease commonly seen in the elderly.The main symptoms include pain, joint stiffness, reduction in the range of motion (ROM), Crepitus during activity, inflammation and swelling. Furthermore, patients with knee OAMay suffer from joint deformity, muscle atrophy of the lower extremities, abnormal gait, orEven ambulatory inability As the quality of life of knee OA patients remains very poor,The pain reduction, muscle strength enhancement, deformity prevention, and function Improvement of knee OA are important issues in the aging population nee Osteoarthritis

Conditions

• Knee Osteoarthritis

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Resisted exercise	Patients in this group will be applied Kinesio taping 3 times per week over the study period of 6 weeks. Before the kinesio taping, the skin surface will be clean. Patients will positioned lying on their side, hip extended, and knee joint at 60° of flexion. The knee will be tape with an I-shaped kinesio tape starting at the origin of the rectus femoris, and a Y-shaped kinesio tape proximal to the superior patellar border. The taping will be no tension at its base, whereas the portion between the anchor and the superior patella will be stretched ≈40%.
