Knee Osteoarthritis Clinical Trial
Official title:
Clinical and Functional Effects of Kinesiotaping and Physiotherapy in Grade 2 Osteoarthritis Following Degenerative Meniscal Tears in Football Players - A Randomized Control Trial
Degenerative meniscal tears are a common cause of osteoarthritis commonly diagnosed in football players and are considered a major risk factor for the development of knee osteoarthritis. This study aimed to investigate the Clinical and functional effects of kinesiotaping and physiotherapy in grade 2 osteoarthritis following degenerative meniscal tears in football players.
Degenerative meniscal tears represent a prevalent issue among football players and are frequently associated with an increased risk of developing knee osteoarthritis. This study seeks to explore the clinical and functional impacts of employing kinesiotaping and physiotherapy as interventions in grade 2 osteoarthritis resulting from degenerative meniscal tears in football players. Kinesiotaping is a therapeutic technique involving the application of specialized elastic tapes to targeted areas, aiming to support injured muscles and joints, enhance circulation, and alleviate pain. Physiotherapy, on the other hand, employs a range of exercises and modalities to promote healing and improve joint function. Both modalities are commonly used in sports medicine to manage musculoskeletal injuries. The investigation focuses on football players diagnosed with grade 2 osteoarthritis secondary to degenerative meniscal tears. Grade 2 osteoarthritis signifies moderate cartilage loss and potential joint instability. The participants will be divided into two groups: one receiving kinesiotaping in combination with physiotherapy and the other undergoing conventional physiotherapy alone. Clinical assessments will include pain levels, joint swelling, and range of motion. Functional outcomes such as strength, agility, and proprioception will be measured through standardized tests. The study's duration and follow-up periods will allow for a comprehensive evaluation of both short-term and long-term effects. The hypothesis underlying this research posits that the combined approach of kinesiotaping and physiotherapy will yield superior outcomes compared to traditional physiotherapy alone. Potential benefits may include reduced pain, improved joint stability, enhanced functional capacity, and a decreased risk of further degeneration. By shedding light on the efficacy of these interventions, this study aspires to contribute valuable insights to the field of sports medicine, aiding in the development of evidence-based strategies for managing degenerative meniscal tears and mitigating the risk of osteoarthritis in football players. The findings could inform clinical practice and potentially influence rehabilitation protocols for athletes facing similar challenges. ;
