Abstract(s)
A osteoartrite é a causa mais frequente de doença crónica musculosquelética, constituindo uma das principais causas para a limitação das atividades diárias. Objetivo: investigar, através de uma revisão bibliográfica, os efeitos do Kinesio Taping em pacientes com osteoartrite do joelho. Metodologia: Foi efetuada uma pesquisa nas bases de dados da PubMed, PEDro e Web of Science. A qualidade metodológica dos estudos foi analisada através da Escala Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP). Resultados: Foram incluídos 7 artigos, com um total de 556 participantes, com idades compreendidas entre 55 e 70 anos com uma qualidade metodológica média de 9. Num dos artigos, o kinesio tape não demonstrou qualquer tipo de efeito, no entanto, nos outros 6 artigos os resultados foram significativos. Conclusão: O Kinesio Taping demonstrou produzir efeitos significativos no tratamento da osteoartrite, diminuindo a dor e melhorando os movimentos dos pacientes, o que resultou numa diminuição do consumo de analgésicos.
