Effect of Medial Shift Taping of Patella with Strengthening Exercises and Ultrasound vs Strengthening Exercises with Ultrasound in Osteoarthritis of Knee
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. ,
