This study will be a Randomized control trial. The calculated sample size for this study was 60 (30 in each group). To compensate the expected dropouts the sample size was increased by 17 %. Hence the final sample size will be 70 (35 in each group).~The participants of this study will be female patients having Grade.2 knee osteoarthritis aged in between 50 to 60 years having BODY MASS INDEX (BMI) range 25-29.9(Overweight), who are being referred to Dow Ojha Physiotherapy OUT PATIENT DEPARTMENT. The subjects will be divided into 2 equal groups through Randomization Technique (Coin toss).~Intervention group will receive regular physiotherapy exercises with Kinesio tape application, Whereas Control group will be given the same exercises without Kinesio taping.~First assessment will be done at the baseline and second(final) will be conducted at the end of 3rd week (after 9 sessions).~Data will be analyzed through SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) Version-26. For mean comparison of dependent variables among Experimental and Control group Repeated Measure two-way Analysis of covariance will be performed. P-value less than 0.05 will be considered significant.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of kinesio taping versus conventional physiotherapy in women with knee osteoarthritis.
