Treatments that combine both elastic and rigid taping in knee osteoarthritis have not yet been investigated in the literature. Thus, the purpose of the present study is to investigate how the combination taping technique affects functional status, disability, and quadricep isokinetic torque in cases of knee osteoarthritis. Patient Methods: A total of fifty-four patients were assigned to the experimental group or control group. Conventional physical therapy was provided to both groups, in addition, participants in the experimental group also received combination taping. Disability, functional status, and isokinetic quadriceps torque were assessed at baseline, six weeks (post-intervention), and twelve weeks (follow-up).
MANOVA showed that post-intervention measurements were significantly better than baseline measurements of both groups, except for isokinetic quadriceps torque, which showed a nonsignificant difference in the control group. The control group's follow-up measurements revealed nonsignificant differences from those taken after the intervention, whereas the experimental group's differences were significant excluding isokinetic quadriceps torque. Measurements taken at post-intervention and follow-up revealed that the experimental group had significantly improved compared to the control groups.
Combination taping was found to be more beneficial when used in addition to conventional physical therapy than when used alone in knee OA.
在膝关节骨关节炎中，结合弹性和刚性贴扎的治疗方法在文献中尚未得到研究。因此，本研究的目的是探讨联合贴扎技术对膝关节骨关节炎患者功能状态、残疾程度和股四头肌等速肌力的影响。患者方法：总共54名患者被分配到实验组或对照组。两组均接受常规物理治疗，此外，实验组的参与者还接受联合贴扎。在基线、六周（干预后）和十二周（随访）时评估残疾程度、功能状态和股四头肌等速肌力。
多变量方差分析表明，除了股四头肌等速肌力在对照组中差异不显著外，两组干预后的测量结果均显著优于基线测量结果。对照组的随访测量结果与干预后测量结果相比差异不显著，而实验组的差异显著，但股四头肌等速肌力除外。干预后和随访时的测量结果表明，实验组与对照组相比有显著改善。
发现在膝关节骨关节炎中，联合贴扎与常规物理治疗联合使用比单独使用更有益。
