Evaluation of the effect of Kinesiotaping tape on femoral quadriceps muscle. Musculoskeletal diseases
Conditions
Interventions
The sample will be randomized in blocks and after randomization the individuals will be allocated into five groups, each representing a Kinesiotaping (KT) color (Group 1- KT Yellow
2- KT Blue
3- KT Beige
4- KT Black
5- KT Pink
6- KT Green).
Afterwards, electromyographic and thermographic data will be collected in five phases of each evaluation.
Step 1 (E1): Prior to applying KT tape and adhesive tape.
2nd Stage (E2): Immed
