Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common chronic condition, characterized by progressive loss of joint cartilage, leading to joint pain, stiffness, and functional disability. Knee OA is one of the most prevalent forms of OA, affecting millions of people worldwide. Various non-surgical treatment options have been reported, one of them is taping techniques. Combination taping is a unique treatment option, where two different types of taping is applied.
