October 21, 2014 updated by: Mauricio Antonio da Luz Junior, Paulista University

Effectiveness of the Kinesio Taping® in Activation of Quadriceps Muscle and Reflex Inhibition of Hamstrings Muscle: Randomized Controlled Trial

Forty-eight female patients will be randomized into three groups to receive the Kinesio taping, placebo Kinesio taping and control group. The group Kinesio taping receive the correct application of the method described. The placebo group will receive a placement without tension. The control group did not receive any form of intervention.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Kinesio Taping
Participant will receive application of Kinesiotaping in their thigh on quadriceps muscle
Other: Kinesio Taping
Kinesiotaping intervention is based upon the use of specific elastic tapes (known as Kinesio Tex Gold) that are applied with a certain amount of tension fixed to the skin of patients with the target muscles in a stretched position. The tapes will be placed over the quadriceps muscle.
