Instructions: 5-cm wide elastic Kinesiology Tape was applied to subjects as described below. It was applied to the major parts of the affected side, quadriceps femoris, and tibialis anterior of the lower extremities, as well as to the biceps brachii and upward rotators of the scapulas of the upper extremities. The flexible tape was attached to the skin not elongated from the origin to the insertion of fully stretched muscles. The subjects were informed that they could shower but that they should dry off completely and that they should remove the tape immediately if they experienced any itchiness or skin allergy.
