Origin to Insertion Kinesio Tapping vs Non-Directional Kinesio Tapping on Quadriceps Peak Torque

University of Jazan200 enrolled

Overview

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of kinesio tapping on electrical activity and peak torque of quadriceps during concentric and eccentric muscle contraction were carried out in the motion analysis Laboratory.

A Pretest posttest control group design was used to. Two hundred normal subjects of both sexes were recruited. Subjects were randomly assigned into two groups of equal number. * Cura Kensio-tapping group: consisted of 100 subjects (females and males) will receive kinesio taping from origin to insertion on the superficial muscles of Quadriceps femoris (vastus medialis (VM), vastus lateralis (VL), rectus femoris (RF). * Placebo-Group: consisted of 100 subjects (females and males) will receive placebo kinesio taping across quadriceps.
