Kinesio Taping and Calf Muscle Fatigue
A study testing Kinesio Taping under tension., Kinesio Tape without tension and Rigid Taping in people with Fatigue, run by King Saud University at 1 site in Saudi Arabia.
Trial summary
Muscle fatigue results in decreased ability in muscles to generate force. Kinesio Tape may reverse the adverse effects of fatigue. Thus this study will examine the acute effects of Kinesio tape on muscle fatigue. Read more about this study
