The purpose of this project is to investigate the effect of Kinesio tape on muscle strength of the quadriceps femoris in people with knee pain or symptoms and decreased muscle strength in the quadriceps femoris - a randomized controlled trial.
The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of recoil tape with 0-30% tension, by using one application of Kinesio tape over the muscle fibers of the quadriceps femoris from its origin to its insertion. The participants will be divided into intervention group (taping) and control group (no intervention). Muscle strength test will be performed before and immediately after taping (20-30 minutes) for both groups using hand-held dynamometer measurements (MicroFET 3).
Work is based on the following hypothesis: "Kinesio taping using recoil taping provides increased isometric muscle strength in quadriceps femoris immediately after application".

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kinesio tape | Experimental | Kinesio tape on quadriceps femoris |
|
| Control | No Intervention | No intervention |
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kinesio tape | Other | Application of one Kinesio tape with 0-30 % tension over the muscle fibers of the quadriceps femoris in a stretched position. The tape can be divided into several tails to cover the whole muscle from origin to insertion. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Muscle strength | Maximal isometric muscle strength monitored by a hand-held dynamometer (microFET 3) | 30 minutes |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Time of break force | How long the patient can hold against the pressure from the investigator until the force breaks | 30 minutes |
| Self-reported strength - effort scale | Self-reported muscle strength from 0-10 (0 is nothing, 1 is extremely weak and 10 is extremely strong) |
