Taping is a non-invasive technique that has been used for various musculoskeletal conditions, including knee OA. However, there is limited research on the effects of combination taping techniques on disability, functional capacity, and knee isokinetic torque in patients with knee OA.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common chronic condition, characterized by progressive loss of joint cartilage, leading to joint pain, stiffness, and functional disability. Knee OA is one of the most prevalent forms of OA, affecting millions of people worldwide. Various non-surgical treatment options have been reported, one of them is taping techniques. Combination taping is a unique treatment option, where two different types of taping is applied. However, there is limited research on the effects of combination taping techniques on disability, functional capacity, and knee isokinetic torque in patients with knee OA. So this study will be conducted to explore therapeutic effects in individuals who are suffering from knee OA
