Introduction: Osgood-Schlatter disease (OSD) is a very common disease in children and youth during the adolescent period. This condition is characterised by pain and significant swelling along with deformity of the tibial tuberosity region, which often results in the disorder of correct gait and decreased level of physical activity. Research objective: The objective of our study is to evaluate the effectiveness of kinesiology taping on pain and swelling in patients with Osgood-Schlatter disease. Material and methods: The study included 60 patients diagnosed with Osgood-Schlatter disease. Subjects were divided into 2 equal groups: the study group (n=30) and the control group (n=30). The patients underwent 60 days of supervised physiotherapy. In the study group, an exercise programme was followed in combination with the application of kinesiology taping, while in the control group, only an exercise programme was used. Pain on pressure in the tibial tubercle region (VAS), Dreyer patellar compression test (VAS), pain during knee extension against resistance (VAS), occurrence of pain during daily and sports activities (VAS), occurrence of knee swelling using the sweep test (yes/no) and axial alignment of the knee joint (yes/no) using an anthropometric measurement board, were examined before and after therapy. Results: In the clinical study, there were no statistically significant differences between the study group and the control (p>0.05). After treatment, there was a decrease in swelling in the study group and a decrease in pain during compression of the tibial tubercle and during physical activity in the study and control groups (p<0.05). An intergroup comparison demonstrated that the study group achieved better results in terms of reducing swelling and pain. Conclusions: Kinesiology taping has a positive effect on the physiotherapeutic outcome of patients with the Osgood-Schlatter disease. The use of kinesiology taping during the rehabilitation of children with Osgood-Schlatter disease accelerated swelling reduction and the decrease of pain compared to children who did not receive kinesiology taping during the rehabilitation.
