“…The findings of this study are consistent with a meta-analysis of the effect of arthritis self-management education programs on pain and disability [33]. Although current therapies focusing on the physiological aspect of the condition such as exercise therapy, kinesiotaping, hydrotherapy and drugs such as etoricoxib have been successful in relieving pain [34][35][36][37], integrating cognitive behavioral-based therapy into these approaches may further enhance their effectiveness via the psychological dimension.…”

Background: Psychosocial interventions for patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee to reduce pain and improve physical and psychological functioning are still lacking in Malaysia. Methods: A parallel-group unblinded randomized controlled trial involving 300 patients was conducted in two hospital orthopedics clinics in Malaysia. Patients were randomly assigned to receive cognitive behavioral-based group therapy (n = 150) or no further intervention (n = 150). The primary outcome was the change from baseline in knee pain as determined by the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) at 6 months. The data collected were analyzed by covariate-adjusted mixed design repeated measures analysis of variance. All analyses were performed under the terms of intention-to-treat. Results: At 6 months, mean change from baseline in the KOOS knee pain score was 0.6 points (95% CI −1.73 to 2.94) in the control group and 8.9 points (95% CI 6.62 to 11.23) (denoting less knee pain intensity) in the intervention group (significant treatment effect p < 0.0001). Patients treated with such an approach also experienced significant improvement in functional ability when performing activities of daily living and had improved ability to cope with depression, anxiety and pain catastrophizing. Conclusion: The intervention module delivered by healthcare professionals had a sustained effect on knee OA pain and functionality over 6 months, thereby leading to an overall improvement in psychological well-being, thus benefitting most of the Malaysian knee OA patients.

“…Therefore, the decision concerning effectiveness of Kinesio Taping for knee osteoarthritis symptom control and function improvement is inconclusive and has to be warranted by further randomized double-blinded studies. 16,17 In our recently published study on the effectiveness of Kinesio Taping for pain management in knee osteoarthritis, we found a specific Kinesio Taping technique to be superior for knee pain alleviation in comparison to nonspecific elastic knee taping. 18 The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Kinesio Taping method for knee osteoarthritis patients on the secondary outcomes assessed in the same clinical trial: the changes in other than pain symptoms and functioning, knee range of motion (ROM), gait and mobility improvement after a month-lasting course of taping.…”

“…Despite the increasing scientific interest and the number of researchers investigating the effectiveness of Kinesio Taping for patients with knee osteoarthritis in recent years, the studies concerning its effectiveness regarding pain relief and functional improvement report conflicting results. 9 – 17 Recent reviews and meta-analyses conclude that this method could be helpful in knee osteoarthritis management; however, small sample size and/or lack of blinding and/or no follow-up and other methodological inadequacies are the common limitations of available studies. Therefore, the decision concerning effectiveness of Kinesio Taping for knee osteoarthritis symptom control and function improvement is inconclusive and has to be warranted by further randomized double-blinded studies.…”

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of the Kinesio Taping® method for mobility and functioning improvement for patients with knee osteoarthritis (KO). Design: Randomized, double-blinded, controlled trial. Setting: Outpatient rehabilitation department. Subjects: A total of 187 subjects with symptomatic I–III grade KO participated; of these, 157 subjects were included in the analyses (intervention group, n = 81 (123 knees); control group, n = 76 (114 knees). Intervention: The intervention group received a specific Kinesio Taping application, and the control group received non-specific knee taping for a month. Main measures: Changes in Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Scores (KOOS), knee active range of motion, 10-Meter Walk, and the five times sit to stand tests (5xSST) were assessed at baseline, after four weeks of taping, and a month post taping intervention. Subjective participants’ experiences and opinions on the effect of knee taping were evaluated. The chosen level of significance was p < 0.05. Results: The mean age of participants was 68.7 ± 9.9 in intervention group and 70.6 ± 8.3 in control group ( p > 0.05). The change from baseline in gait speed in the intervention group after taping month was +0.04 ± 0.1 m/s, at follow-up +0.06 ± 0.1 m/s; in control group +0.07 ± 0.1 m/s, and +0.09 ± 0.1 m/s; the change in time needed to accomplish 5xSST was –2.2 ± 3.2 seconds, at follow-up –2.4 ± 3.1 seconds; in control group –2.8 ± 3.6 seconds, and –2.4 ± 4 seconds. Improved knee flexion and enhancement in functioning assessed by KOOS were noticed in both groups, with lasting improvement to follow up. No difference in the change in the above-mentioned outcomes was found between groups ( p > 0.05). Fewer subjects (6.2% (5) vs. 21.1% (16), χ2 = 7.5, df = 2, p = 0.024) from Kinesio Taping group were unsure if taping alleviated their mobility and more intervention group patients indicated higher subjective satisfaction with the effect of knee taping to symptom and mobility alleviation than control group ( p < 0.005). Conclusion: Investigated Kinesio Taping technique did not produce better results in mobility and functioning improvement over non-specific knee taping; however, it had higher patient-reported subjective value for symptom attenuation and experienced mobility enhancement.

Introduction: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) causes pain which limits functional activity and quality of life. Quadriceps femoris muscle strengthening with weight-pulley system is effective in improving functional activity. Kinesiotaping is known in reducing pain thus improving activity and quality of life. This study was to determine the effect of kinesiotaping in addition to weight-pulley system exercise on quality oflife in grade II and III knee OA patients. Methods: Participants were randomly assigned to intervention group (n=13) and control group (n=14). All participants were treated with weight-pulley system exercise for nine sessions meanwhile participants in intervention group received additional kinesiotaping. Pre- and post-intervention quality of life were evaluated using Medical Outcome Study Short Form-36 (SF-36). Results: There were differences in total score of SF-36, bodily pain, general health, vitality, and role emotional between intervention and control group; (90.53±8.23, 76.98±11.88; p=0.002), (83.75±16.86,67.31±17.3; p=0.022), (88.57±10.27, 72.69±12.18; p=<0.001), (93.93±7.64, 80.77±10.18; p=0.002) and (92.86±14.18, 74.37±24.17; p=0.027), respectively. Conclusion: Application of kinesiotaping in addition to weight-pulley system exercise improved quality of, particularly in bodily pain, general health, vitality and role emotional in grade II and III knee OApatients.
