The Effectiveness of Kinesio Taping in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis

Knee osteoarthritis is the most common kind of arthritis that occurs due to degeneration of the joint articular cartilage, producing pain, stiffness, and impaired movement. Kinesio taping is a simple and inexpensive therapeutic procedure that can help with knee osteoarthritis symptoms. Kinesio taping is a high-stretch elastic adhesive material that allows the treated area to have free mobility. This technique was preferred by physical therapists for knee osteoarthritis rehabilitation because of its positive effects, such as decreased pain and increased mobility and muscular performance.
