Efficacy of Kinesio taping on quadriceps muscle sense: In healthy individuals - Tapa blanda

Kinesio taping (KT) helps to improve function of muscle and joint.It exhibits properties of proprioception enhancement through increased stimulation of cutaneous mechanoreceptors by stretching the skin.Application of KT allows the body to move normally, and it is said to react to the fascia via biomechanical or proprioceptive mechanisms. The stretch from KT will bring about activation of the extrafusal fibers via the fascia and inturn stretch the intrafusal fibers to bring about stimulation of muscle spindle afferent endings.
