Figure 1.

Application of Kinesio tape (KT). KT was applied in a Y-shape (running either side of the patella from the tibial tuberosity to the anterior inferior iliac spine) with 10% tension to induce a detoning effect on the quadriceps muscle (black). KT was also applied in a Y-shape (from the ischial tuberosity to the medial tibial condyle and upper aspect of the fibular head) with 10% tension to induce a toning effect on the ischiocrural muscle group (pink). An additional tape was applied over the tibial tuberosity with dorsal 20% tension (blue).
