About this trial

This study will be conducted to evaluate the effect of using Kinesio tape versus strapping the knee on pain management

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

A medical diagnosis with Osgood Schlatter disease was made by paediatricians or paediatric orthopaedist.

Number of the participate children will be 38 children.

Age ranges from 9 to 15 years.

Disqualifiers

They had a permanent deformity (bony or soft tissue contractures).

Children have visual or auditory defects.

Children with intelligence quotient less than 70.

Children who had undergone a previous surgical intervention to knee joint.

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • kinesio tape

    Other intervention

    Kinesio tape a therapeutic tape that's applied strategically to the body to provide lessen pain, reduce swelling, improve performance.

  • knee strap

    Other intervention

    knee strap is used to support the tibial tuberosity which lessen the pain and enhance performance of the knee

Treatment groups

2 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: effect of Kinesio tape application in Osgood Schlatter diseaseActive comparator 1 intervention
Group B: effect of knee strap application in Osgood Schlatter diseaseActive comparator 1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Comparison of the effect of knee strap with the effect of Kinesio tape on pain management in Osgood Schlatter disease

Pain assessment using visual analogue scale. it is widely used to assess pain using straight horizontal line with a fixed length usually 100mm, the two ends of the line represent the extreme limits of the parameter being measured, the left end represents the worst condition while the right end represent the best condition. zero to ten from left to right, zero means no pain and ten is the worest pain

Time frame
baseline

Secondary outcomes

1

Range of motion assessment

Range of motion using electrical goniometer. Universal goniometer in clinical evaluations of patients (as they are easy to be employed) and electro goniometer in laboratory studies (as they are more accurate) are reliable to test the knee range of motion.

Time frame
baseline
2

muscle power assessment

Muscle strength in the quadriceps may be weaker due to limited exercise, as pain persists. The Lafayette Manual Muscle Tester is used to measure maximal isometric knee extension and flexion. A higher value indicates greater muscle strength

Time frame

3

functional assessment

Single leg triple hops Functional scale to evaluate the activity pre and post treatment for both groups
