Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.
