Comparison of Quadriceps Strengthening and Kinesiotaping on Gait in Knee Osteoarthritis

"One set of each of the following exercises will completed during each session:~* leg press,~* knee flexion,~* knee extension,~* Quad drills For each set, 12 repetitions will be performed at a resistance load of 60% of the one-repetition maximum (1RM) for that exercise. The exercises will be performed 2 times a week for 6 weeks."

Kinesiotaping is applied on the anterior thigh (quadriceps) region starting at 1/5 of the distance between anterosuperior iliac spine (ASIS) and tibia tuberosity. The tape is applied with 20% tension of the tape. The tape was tensioned from proximal region of mid quadriceps down to tibia tuberosity and, once it reached the knee, the tape was divided in the middle allowing it to circle the joint
