The control group did not receive any form of intervention.
Read the detailed description
The group Kinesio taping receive the correct application of the method described with tension of 40%. The placebo group will receive a placement without tension.
The control group did not receive any form of intervention.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Kinesio TapingOther
Also called -Bandages, -Tape, -Taping, -Kinesio Tex
Kinesiotaping intervention is based upon the use of specific elastic tapes (known as Kinesio Tex Gold) that are applied with a certain amount of tension fixed to the skin of patients with the target muscles in a stretched position. The tapes will be placed over the quadriceps muscle.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Kinesio Taping | Experimental | Participant will receive application of Kinesiotaping in their thigh on quadriceps muscle Receives: Other: Kinesio Taping |
| Kinesio Taping Placebo | Placebo comparator | Participant will receive application of placebo Kinesiotaping in their thigh on quadriceps muscle Receives: Other: Kinesio Taping |
| Control Group | No intervention | This participants will not receive intervention |

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Kinesio Taping in people with Muscle Atrophy, run by Paulista University at 1 site in Brazil.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Oct 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Brazil. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Vertical Jump (time frame: 40 minutes). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Oct 2014.
