Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of kinesiotaping on knee pain and range of motion (ROM) in patients with knee joint osteoarthritis (OA) and knee joint sport injury. Sixty out of 76 subjects of which 45 were patients with diagnosis of knee joint OA and 31 subjects with knee pain as a result of sport injury participated in the study. The 60 subjects were randomly assigned to 3 experimental groups (A, B and C) with 2 sub groups in each experimental group. Outcome measures of pain intensity and knee range of motion (ROM), pre-treatment and during the treatment periods were assessed using the visual analogue scale (VAS) and double arms goniometer respectively. Data analysis was done using the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test, Mann-Whitney U test, paired and unpaired t-test. There was a significant difference (P
