Brief summary
The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy and effectiveness of the application of Kinesio Taping in the short-term management of ITBFS in an exploratory randomized control study in two patient groups, an experimental group receiving Kinesio Taping with tension, and a control group receiving Kinesio Taping with no tension.
Detailed description
To determine the immediate effects of taping on the three-dimensional joint kinematics and moments of the lower limb during running in ITBFS patients, and to determine any differences between the experimental and control groups. To determine the immediate effects of taping on muscle activity of the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, tensor fascia lata, vastus medialis, and vastus lateralis in ITBFS patients, and to determine any differences between the experimental and control groups. To determine if the short-term perceptions of pain, symptoms, ADL function, sport and recreation function, quality of Life, and fear of movement are changed with taping, and to determine any differences between the experimental and control groups. To determine any perceived changes in the stability of the knee joint, comfort and benefits with taping, and to determine any differences between the experimental and control groups. To determine if muscle strength, muscle length, and functional movement are changed with taping, and to determine any differences between the experimental and control groups. To explore the relationship between the clinical and biomechanical outcome measures in ITBFS patients.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Numerical Pain Rating scale | one week | Numerical Pain Rating scale; pain intensity during running from 0 to10 scale where 0 = No pain and 10 = worst pain Imaginable. |
| Pelvis, Hip, Knee, and Ankle angle. | Immediately after the intervention | Three-dimensional joint kinematics measurement by motion analysis capture |
| Hip, Knee, and Ankle Moments | Immediately after the intervention | Three-dimensional joint kinematics measurement by motion analysis capture |
| Surface Electromyography Data | Immediately after the intervention | Five Surface Electromyography electrodes were placed over the gluteus maximus (Gmax), gluteus medius (Gmed), tensor fascia latae (TFL), vastus medialis (VM), vastus lateralis (VL) muscles to measure muscle activity. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia | one week | The Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia is a 17 item questionnaire used to assess the subjective rating of kinesiophobia or fear of movement. A Likert scale is used and all items have four possible answer options scored from 1 (strongly disagree ) to 4 (strongly agree ). |
| Global Rating Of Change Scale | one week | Global rating of change (GRC) scales are very commonly used in clinical research, particularly in the musculoskeletal area. the overall condition of your injured body part or region. Rating from -7 A very great deal worse to +7 scale (A very great deal better) from the begin intervention time until now. |
| Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score | one week | The Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score's five patient-relevant dimensions are scored separately: Pain (nine items); Symptoms (seven items); ADL Function (17 items); Sport and Recreation Function (five items); Quality of Life (four items). A Likert scale is used and all items have five possible answer options scored from 0 (No problems) to 4 (Extreme problems) and each of the five scores is calculated as the sum of the items included. |
