- Abstract
Osteoarthritis is a musculoskeletal rheumatic disease, affecting 303 million people globally in 2017. One of the physiotherapy modalities commonly utilized to overcome pain in osteoarthritis is Kinesio taping. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of Kinesio taping in reducing pain in knee osteoarthritis patients. This research is a systematic review and meta-analysis. The articles employed were obtained from several databases, including PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, and Google Scholar. The inclusion criteria comprised full paper articles with the Randomized Control Trial (RCT), knee osteoarthritis patients as the research subject, and decreased pain as the study result. Articles were collected using the PRISMA flow diagram and analyzed using the Review Manager 5.3 application. A meta-analysis of 12 articles regarding the effectiveness of Kinesio taping in reducing pain in knee osteoarthritis patients from Spain, the United States, Finland, Lithuania, Mexico, India, Korea, and Turkey revealed that Kinesio taping could reduce pain in knee osteoarthritis patients. Knee osteoarthritis patients who utilized Kinesio taping had a pain intensity of 0.56 units compared to those without Kinesio taping. These results were statistically significant (SMD = −0.56; 95% CI = −1.04 to −0.08; p = 0.02). This study demonstrated the effectiveness of Kinesio taping in reducing pain in knee osteoarthritis patients.
