Knee osteoarthritis patients were assessed by general demographic questionnaire, rapid assessment of physical activity (RAPA) to determine physical activity level and Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) to determine the level of pain severity,stiffness, functional activities, recreational activities and Quality of life for enhancing functional independence and were assigned into knee taping group.Each subject in first group completed 4 weeks of physical therapy sessions which were aimed to decrease pain and stiffness, increase functional activity level, and improve quality of life. Each subject was evaluated for changes in symptoms on, 1st week, 2nd week, 3rd week and 4th week.
