Kinesio tape (KT) has been widely used in the areas of sports and physical therapy (Kase, 2003). The effect of KT tensions on H-reflex modulation has not been discussed in the literature. This study investigated the effect of different KT tensions on the H-reflex modulation in the gastrocnemius and the soleus muscles.
