PURPOSE: This study examined the effects of motion taping during combined lower extremity exercise application on pain, ROM, muscle strength, and WOMAC index in middle-aged women with osteoarthritis of the knee joint
METHODS: The subjects were 26 middle-aged women with osteoarthritis in the knee joint. Twenty-six subjects were divided into two groups. Each group contained 13 subjects.
Three subjects dropped out in the middle of the experiment.
The intervention was six weeks, three times a week. The control group performed traditional physical therapy and lower extremity exercise. The experimental group was motion taping applied to the lower extremity exercise. The measurement factors were knee joint pain, quadriceps muscle strength, and WOMAC index. The pain was measured using the numeric pain scale instrument (NPSI). The quadriceps strength was measured using the 1RM method.
RESULTS: In both groups, pain, muscle strength, and WOMAC index showed significant improvement according to the intervention (p < .05). In comparison between groups of the change values pre-post intervention, pain and WOMAC index showed statistically significant differences between the two groups. On the other hand, there was no difference in strength between the two groups.
CONCLUSION: When performing a rehabilitation exercise program for middle-aged women with osteoarthritis of the knee, motion taping has a positive effect on pain and the WOMAC index.
