Effects of Kinesiotaping in Osteoarthritis (Taping)
Effects of Adding Kinesiotaping to Conventional Physiotherapy on Pain, Function, and Kinesiophobia in Knee Osteoarthritis: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Knee osteoarthritis will be recognized as a leading cause of pain and functional disability, and conventional physiotherapy will remain a cornerstone of its management. Kinesiotaping will be widely used as an adjunct intervention; however, its additional benefit beyond standard rehabilitation programs will remain unclear.
This study will aim to investigate the additional effects of kinesiotaping combined with a conventional physiotherapy and rehabilitation program on pain, functional status, and kinesiophobia in individuals with unilateral knee osteoarthritis.
A total of 60 participants with unilateral knee osteoarthritis will be included in this randomized controlled trial and will be assigned to either a conventional physiotherapy (CP) group or a kinesiotaping (KT) group. Both groups will receive a 4-week (12 sessions) physiotherapy program including ultrasound, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, patellofemoral mobilization, and exercise. Kinesiotaping will be applied every 3 days in the KT group. Outcome measures will include pain (VAS), kinesiophobia (TSK, FABQ), functional performance (30-s sit-to-stand, stair climb test), dynamic balance (functional reach), and WOMAC.

Tidsramme |
|---|---|---|
|
Kinesiophobia
Tidsramme: 4 weeks
|
Kinesiophobia will evaluated using the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK) and the Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ).
The TSK is a 17-item questionnaire scored on a 4-point Likert scale (1 = strongly disagree to 4 = strongly agree), with total scores ranging from 17 to 68, where higher scores indicate greater fear of movement.
The FABQ assesses fear-avoidance beliefs related to physical activity and has been widely used in musculoskeletal disorders.

Tidsramme |
|---|---|---|
|
Pain intensity
Tidsramme: 4 weeks
|
Pain intensity will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), a 10-cm horizontal line ranging from "no pain" (0) to "worst imaginable pain" .
Participants will be asked to indicate the intensity of their knee pain during activity, and the marked distance will be measured in centimeters
|
4 weeks
|
|
Functional status
Tidsramme: 4 weeks
|
Functional status will be assessed using performance-based tests.
The 30-Second Sit-to-Stand Test will be used to evaluate lower extremity muscle strength and endurance.
Participants will be instructed to stand up and sit down as many times as possible within 30 seconds, and the total number of repetitions will be recorded .
|
4 weeks
|
|
Functional mobility
Tidsramme: 4 weeks
|
The 12-Step Stair Climb Test will be used to assess functional mobility and lower limb performance.
Participants will be asked to ascend and descend a 12-step staircase as quickly and safely as possible, and the total time taken to complete the task will be recorded in seconds .
|
4 weeks
|
|
Dynamic balance
Tidsramme: 4 weeks
|
Dynamic balance will be evaluated using the Functional Reach Test.
Participants will be instructed to stand upright and reach forward as far as possible without losing balance or taking a step.
The maximum distance reached will be measured in centimeters .
