About this study

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.

Treatment and study plan

Cura Kensio-tapping

Other

Cura tapes, a cotton strip with an acrylic adhesive. allows for unidirectional elasticity up to 60% beyond its resting length.

Placebo

Other

placebo taping

Primary outcomes

  1. Peak Torque Measurement 1

    Time frame: Before tapping.

    The peak torque of quadriceps muscle of dominant lower limb was measured using Biodex system 830-200 Isokinetic dynamometer.

  2. Peak Torque Measurement 2

    Time frame: After the application of tapping by 10 minutes

    The peak torque of quadriceps muscle of dominant lower limb was measured using Biodex system 830-200 Isokinetic dynamometer.

  3. Peak Torque Measurement 3

    Time frame: 24 hours after tapping.

    The peak torque of quadriceps muscle of dominant lower limb was measured using Biodex system 830-200 Isokinetic dynamometer.

  4. Peak Torque Measurement 4

    Time frame: 72 hours After tapping

    The peak torque of quadriceps muscle of dominant lower limb was measured using Biodex system 830-200 Isokinetic dynamometer.

  5. Peak Torque Measurement 5

    Time frame: 5 days after removal of tapping b

    The peak torque of quadriceps muscle of dominant lower limb was measured using Biodex system 830-200 Isokinetic dynamometer.
