Description
ABSTRACT:
Background- Osteoarthritis is a chronic progressive, degenerative disorder characterized by cartilage
loss. It affects almost 70-80% of population causing pain, physical disability and decreased quality of
life. Medial shift taping of patella is an efficacious treatment of knee osteoarthritis and is significantly
better than neutral and lateral taping. Therapeutic ultrasound to increase effectiveness of strengthening
exercises for knee osteoarthritis significantly lessens joint swelling, increasing joint mobility and
reducing inflammation in Osteoarthritis knee patients.
Materials & Methods- Total 60 patients suffering from the Osteoarthritis knee were included and
randomly grouped. First group received medial shift taping of patella with strengthening exercise and
ultrasound while the other group received strengthening exercise with ultrasound alone. Both groups
participated for 3 weeks. Pre & Post treatment outcome measures were analyzed using Mann Whitney U
test, Lequesne Knee Scores, Wilcoxon Matched Paired Test, mean and standard deviation.
Results- The study indicated that medial shift taping of patella with strengthening exercise and
ultrasound for 3 weeks brought significant changes in relieving pain along with improving
functional activities.
Conclusions- Both treatments were efficient in relieving pain as well as improving function. However
medial shift taping of patella with strengthening exercise and ultrasound was found to be more
contributory.
