The index cards will fold and place in sealed, opaque envelopes. Then, the blind investigator will open each envelope and allocate the participants to the Kinesio taping or placebo taping group according to the selected index card, Blinding description: This is a double-blinded randomized clinical trial. Participants and assessor will be blind to the study groups. The interventions will perform by the physical therapist at a university research clinic, and the assessments and data collection will conduct by another therapist. The interventionist will aware of the groups allocation, while the patients and the outcome assessor will blind to the allocation. 3 knee Osteoarthritis. Intervention 1: Intervention group: this group received 3 daily therapeutic exercises (three times a day with 10 repetition) plus 5 sessions kinesiotape therapy. The exercises were including: straight leg raising in supine position, knee flexion and extension in sitting position on a chair and isometric contraction of knee muscles in sitting position. Patients were trained to do the exercises at home. The kinesiotape is an adhesive linen. It has roughly the same thickness as the epidermis and its use has become increasingly popular in musculoskeletal problems. Intervention 2: Control group: this group received 3 daily therapeutic exercises (three times a day with 10 repetition) plus 5 sessions placebo kinesiotape.
