An application was placed on the skin in the form of a Y-shaped tape with a lengthened base. The base of the tape was applied (no tension) at the anterior inferior iliac spine to- wards the muscle tendon junction; tape tails were subsequently placed around the patella, and, finally, their ends being placed (no tension) at the tibial tuberosity. The tape was stretched by 15-50% and stuck in the proximal-to-distal direction using a tech- nique to support the quadriceps muscle of thigh. I-shaped tapes were placed laterally and medially in the lower limb to stimulate mechanoreceptors and proprioceptors. The knee joint was maintained in the neutral position; the base of the tape was placed (no tension) below the popliteal fossa and around the calf; the medial part of the tape, starting from the tibial tuberosity up to the femoral condyles, was stretched between 75 and 100%; the end part of the application was placed without tension. Tape was changed every 7 days.
