简要总结
The purpose of this study is analyze the immediate and late effects of the application of KT in neuromuscular performance of the quadriceps in postural balance and function of the lower limb of healthy subjects.
详细描述
Sixty volunteers, females will be recruited and randomly divided into 3 groups with 20 members each: control group (CG) - 10 minutes at rest; placebo group (PG) - Kinesio Taping (KT) without application of tension in the vastus lateralis (VL), vastus (VM) and rectus femoris (RF); and Kinesio Taping group (KTG) - application of KT with tension in VL, VM and RF. All volunteers will be evaluated for their distance from the single and triple hop test, postural balance (baropodometry), the joint position sense (JPS), the knee extensor torque (concentric and eccentric assessment at 60 °/s) and electromyographic activity of the VL muscle in five distinct stages: the first before the intervention (AV1), the second immediately after (AV2) and the following three 24h (AV3), 48 (AV4) after the intervention protocol. Soon after the AV4, KT will be removed after 24 hours and take place the last review (AV5).

研究组 & 干预措施
Control group
The control group remains at rest for 10 minutes, which is not applied KT in the RF, VL and VM muscles. The volunteers of this group perform all evaluation without the application of KT
Placebo group
The Kinesio Taping (KT) is applied on the vastus lateralis (VL), vastus medialis (VM) and rectus femoris (RF) muscles longitudinally from proximal to the distal. For the RF proximal anchor is applied 5cm below the anterior superior iliac spine and the distal anchor the upper edge of the patella. VL in the proximal and distal anchor will be fixed in greater trochanter of the femur and the lateral edge of the patella. As for the VM muscle proximal anchor will be applied to the middle third from the medial region of the thigh and the distal anchor on the medial edge of the patella. The anchors are applied with 0% tension and therapy area will follow on the belly of the muscles with a 0%.
干预措施: placebo Functional elastic tape (Other)

As for the VM muscle proximal anchor will be applied to the middle third from the medial region of the thigh and the distal anchor on the medial edge of the patella. The anchors are applied with 0% tension and therapy area will follow on the belly of the muscles with a 50%. This application will be held with subjects standing on one foot, with the hip of the non-dominant limb at 0º and knee flexed at 90º.

结局指标
主要结局
Muscle Performance measured through isokinetic dynamometry
时间窗: baseline, one minute after the intervention protocol, 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours after the intervention protocol.
Change from baseline in muscle performance at 72 hours.Immediate and Delayed Effects of Kinesio Taping in the muscle performance will be measured through isokinetic dynamometry and the variables analyzed will be peak torque normalized for body weight, mean power, total work and time to peak torque.
次要结局
- Lower limb function(baseline, one minute after the intervention protocol, 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours after the intervention protocol.)
- Balance measured through baropodometry(baseline, one minute after the intervention protocol, 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours after the intervention protocol.)
- Proprioception measured through joint position sense in the isokinetic dynamometer(baseline, one minute after the intervention protocol, 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours after the intervention protocol.)
- Muscle activation measured through surface electromyography(baseline, one minute after the intervention protocol, 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours after the intervention protocol.)
