Kinesio taping
An experienced physiotherapist placed the base of the Kinesio taping strip, over rectus femoris muscle, 3cm bellow the anterior iliac spine, without tension. From this point, the Kinesio taping was placed up to the upper edge of the patella and stretched to 100% tension. It was, then, bi-sectioned, circled the patella and ended in the tuberosity of the femur, without tension. In order to avoid interference in the electromyography signals, a section was held at Kinesio taping at the point where the electrode was placed.
