Background: Kinesio tape has multiple benefits including decreasing pain, increasing proprioception, increasing quadriceps muscle strength, and improving lymphaticcirculation at the knee joint. To evaluate the effectiveness of kinesiotape innon traumatic chronic knee pain. Material and Methods: Aprospective study was done from august 2020 to January 2022 in nscb medical college jabalpur on 80 patients with patello femoral arthritis of knee joint and early grade medial joint line arthritis of knee joint(kellgenlawrencegrading) in which kinesio tape was applied over knee for 6 days by an orthopaedicsurgeonand followed up at end of 1st , 2nd , 3rd , 4th week and outcomes were measured using WOMAC(western Ontario and mcmaster university arthritis index) and Vas(visual analogue scale) scores. Results: VAS score(pre application:7.12, after 4 weeks:4.68)and WOMAC score( pre application:46.18, after 4 weeks:35.65)showed a statistically decrease in scores in cases of patellofemoral arthritis and early grade medial joint line arthritis of knee joint.(p value <0.001) Conclusion: Kinesio tape appears to beaneffective,easy and cheap method in early symptomaticpatello femoralosteoarthritis and early grade medial joint line arthritis of knee joint.
