The Effectiveness of Kinesio® Tex Tape on Gluteus Medius Activation in Dancers

Withdrawn before enrolling · Not applicable · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Gluteus Medius Activation

In brief

The purpose of this research is to determine if a specific type of elasticated athletic tape (Kinesio Tex Tape) increases muscle activation among professional level dancers. Investigators will determine if changes in muscle activation with the elasticated tape differ from changes experienced with no tape and/or sham tape, and if it coincides with subjective sense of muscle activation.
