The arrow shows the position of the electrode. from publication: Acute Effects of Kinesio Taping on Knee Extensor Peak Torque and Stretch Reflex in Healthy Adults | Kinesio Tex tape (KT) is used to prevent and treat sportsrelated injuries and to enhance muscle performance. It has been proposed that the direction of taping may either facilitate or inhibit the muscle by having different effects on cutaneous receptors that modulate | Stretch Reflex, Torque and Kinesio Taping | ResearchGate, the professional network for scientists.
