Clinical Trial Summary

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.

Description:

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).

Primary	Muscle Performance measured through isokinetic dynamometry	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.	baseline, one minute after the intervention protocol, 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours after the intervention protocol.
Secondary	Balance measured through baropodometry	Change from baseline in balance at 72 hours. Immediate and Delayed Effects of Kinesio Taping in balance will be Measured by baropodometry	baseline, one minute after the intervention protocol, 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours after the intervention protocol.
Secondary	Lower limb function	Change from baseline in lower limb function at 72 hours. Immediate and Delayed Effects of Kinesio Taping will be measure through distance of the single and triple hop test.	baseline, one minute after the intervention protocol, 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours after the intervention protocol.
Secondary	Proprioception measured through joint position sense in the isokinetic dynamometer	Change from baseline in proprioception at 72 hours. Immediate and Delayed Effects of Kinesio Taping in the proprioception will be measured through joint position sense	baseline, one minute after the intervention protocol, 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours after the intervention protocol.
Secondary	Muscle activation measured through surface electromyography	Change from baseline in muscle activation at 72 hours. Immediate and Delayed Effects of Kinesio Taping in Muscle activation will be Measured by surface electromyography	baseline, one minute after the intervention protocol, 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours after the intervention protocol.
