About this study
Official title: Immediate and Delayed Effects of Kinesio Taping on the Neuromuscular Performance, Balance and Lower Limb Function of Healthy Subjects: Randomized Clinical Trial
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.
Read the detailed 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).

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%. Receives: Other: placebo Functional elastic tape |

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Functional elastic tape in people with Neuromuscular Performance, Balance and Function, run by Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte at 1 site in Brazil.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Apr 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Brazil. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Muscle Performance measured through isokinetic dynamometry (time frame: baseline, one minute after the intervention protocol, 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours after the intervention protocol.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Apr 2017.
