Resisted Exercise and Kinesiology-Taping in Managing Knee Osteoarthritis

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%.
