Abstract :

This study aims to confirm that the reduction of pain perception and improvement of functional status in knee osteoarthritis patientsis more effective with Kinesio Taping (KT) compared with Short Wave Diathermy (SWD). This study was an experimental study. Itlocated at Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Outpatient clinic Dr. Soetomo Hospital. A total of 20 patients with kneeosteoarthritis were randomly assigned to KT group (n = 10) and SWD group (n = 10). Subjects in the KT group underwent three KTapplications in a 2 week period. The SWD group received four SWD therapy sessions in a 2 week period. The reduction of painperception was evaluated with a Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and the improvement of functional status with Knee Injury andOsteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) before and after intervention. The results showed that no significant difference was observedin the reduction of VAS in the KT and SWD group. A significant difference in the improvement of functional status was observed inthe KT group compared with SWD group. In conclusion, KT application is more effective than SWD in improving the KOOS in kneeosteoarthritis patients. KT application is not better than SWD in reducing pain perception.
