An interventional study of Quadriceps Strengthening and Hamstring and calf stretching exercise in Osgood-Schlatter Disease, sponsored by Cairo University. Completed at 1 site in Egypt. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 25 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-01-29.
Sponsored by Cairo University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of adding kinesotaping to quadriceps strengthening exercises on muscle strength, pain, function and range of motion of knee joint in patients with Osgood-Schlatter disease (OSD).
60 patients will be participated in this study. The patients of both genders with age ranges from 18 -25 years old. The sample will randomly be divided into two groups.
Group A: will receive strengthening exercise for quadriceps muscle and stretching exercises for hamstring and calf muscles Group B: will receive kinesoatping, strengthening exercises for quadriceps muscle and stretching exercises for hamstring and calf muscles .
All subject will receive the treatment for 6 weeks, All subjects will assign consent form before starting this study and will be explained the purpose of this study before any application.
Outcome measurements:
Data will be collected prior to first session as pre-test measure and at the end of last treatment session as post-test treatment.

1 - Age - 18 years to 25 years 2. Knee Osgood schlatter disease as per diagnosed by orthopaedisit 3. Duration of knee pain is 4-5 weeks during 6 months prior to study. 4- patients from both gender 5- from 18 Kg/M2 to 25 Kg/M2
Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.
What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

Static Quad Pull the toes up towards your shin, push your knee into the bed to tighten the quad muscles. This should cause your heel to slightly lift off the bed. Hold for 7 seconds. Repeat on affected leg. Straight leg raising * Lie on back with hips square and legs laid out comfortably on the floor * Bend the knee of non-injured leg at a 90-degree angle, planting the foot flatly on the floor. * Stabilize the muscles on your straight leg by contracting your quadriceps (the group of muscles on the front of your thigh). * Inhaling slowly, lift the straight leg six inches off the ground. * Hold for three seconds. * Exhaling slowly, lower the leg to the floor with control * Relax and repeat 10 times more.
Hamstring stretching exercise will be done in the long sitting position. The patient will be instructed to keep his affected knee always extended while folding the other leg to the side then he will bend his trunk forward as much as he could in order to touch his toes by his fingers. Calf muscle stretching: The patient will be positioned in the long-sitting with the knees extended. The patient will be instructed to pull his foot into dorsiflexion as much as he could with the assistance of a rolled towel holding this position for 30 seconds (Fig14). The patient will then be instructed to go back to starting position and relax for 30 seconds. This exercise will be done 5 times per session.
1 full 25cm strip of KT Tape cut in half. Apply one hour before beginning activity. Clean dirt, oils and lotions from area. After application rub tape vigorously to activate adhesive. Bend the knee at a 90 degree angle Anchor the middle of a half strip of tape diagonally over the point of pain with 80% stretch. Apply ends of tape without stretch. Anchor the middle of a second half strip across the first strip to form an X pattern over the point of pain with 80% stretch.
Change in muscle strength
Quadriceps muscle strength will be assessed by hand held dynamo-meter.
Time frame: at first week and after 6 weeks of treatment
Change in Pain level
Pain threshold will be assessed by visual analogue scale
Time frame: at first week and after 6 weeks of treatment
Change in functional disability
Functional disability will assessed by lower extremity functional scale
Time frame: at first week and after 6 weeks of treatment
Knee joint range of motion
11\. Knee range of motion (flexion, extension) will be assessed by smart phone application (Doctor Goniometer) for range of motion measurement.
Time frame: at first week and after 6 weeks of treatment
