Clinical Trial Summary

Osteoarthritis (OA) is claimed to be a global burden and a key health issue that affects the large weight-bearing joints of the lower extremity such as the knee and hip joints. The study was aimed to find out the efficacy of the tapping technique in addition to the supervised exercise protocol on pain intensity and functional status of an individual with patella-femoral arthritis.


Clinical Trial Description

The study was based on a controlled pretest-posttest experimental group design. After initial screening, forty individuals (mean age 55years, ranged 40-60years) with patello-femoral arthritis randomly (n=20each) assigned into two group A and B. Group A received taping technique in addition to the supervised exercises protocol while group B received supervised exercises protocol only. Both the groups received their specified treatment 5 consecutive days in a week for 4weeks. Data collected for the variables (VAS and WOMAC) at day1 pre-intervention (baseline) and at day 28th post-intervention. The t-test used for within and between group analysis with keeping the p<0.05. ;
