The Kinesio Taping (KT ) method was developed more than thirty years ago in order to cause sensory effects through the epidermis and dermis, generating a variety of physiological effects in other systems. Clinical effects are well known levels in muscle, neurological system, injuries, inflammation, edema, among other physiological effects are thus largely in the theoretical framework. Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate the Electromyographic (EMG), Electroencephalographic (EEG), muscle temperature and flexibility effects with the Rectus Femoral muscle KT application. Methods: This is a pilot study with six subjects in which they were divided into two groups, A and B. Group A received the application of KT from muscle Origin to Insertion and group B Insertion to Origin, with both groups taped the non-dominant limb and the dominant limb was used as control group. The first application was conducted at 0% and the second with 75 to 100% tension. Evaluations were performed before the first application, immediately and 24 hours later. After this last evaluation, was withdrawn taping, evaluated without taping, reapplied 75 to 100 % of rated voltage and in sequence. The sixth last review was conducted 24 hours after this last application. Before every application a specific vibration was performed on the patellar tendon in order to trigger a neurophysiological imbalance rectus femoral.
242 studies on the registry are indexed under Myositis; 103 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 30 is close to the median of 30 across 159 interventional studies indexed under Myositis.

Exclusion Criteria:
Received the application of KT from muscle Origin to Insertion
Device: Kinesio Taping
received the application of KT from muscle Insertion to Origen
Device: Kinesio Taping
Group A received the application of KT from muscle Origin to Insertion and group B Insertion to Origin, with both groups taped the nondominant limb and the dominant limb was used as control group. Diferent tensions will be applied with the tape to see its possible different affect in the outcomes.

Muscle Activity
Group A (n= 15) received the application of KT from muscle (Rectus femoral) Origin to Insertion, Group B (n= 15) from insertion to origin at the non dominant limb, and the dominant limb will be used as control group. The Eletromiography/ EMG (mV) will be measure during an maximum isometric voluntary contraction.
Time frame: The outcome will be evaluated 24 hours after the intervention
Neurologic Activity
Group A (n= 15) received the application of KT from muscle (Rectus femoral) Origin to Insertion, Group B (n= 15) from insertion to origin at the non dominant limb, and the dominant limb will be used as control group. The Eletroencephalography - EEG (Hz) will be measure during an maximum isometric voluntary contraction. Will be analyzed 8 channels related with the motor activity located between the frontal and the central lobe.
Time frame: The outcome will be evaluated 24 hours after the intervention
Muscle Stregth
Group A (n= 15) received the application of KT from muscle (Rectus femoral) Origin to Insertion, Group B (n= 15) from insertion to origin at the non dominant limb, and the dominant limb will be used as control group. The strength will be measure by a Hand Hold Dynamometer (Kg/F) during an maximum isometric voluntary contraction.
Time frame: The outcome will be evaluated 24 hours after the intervention
Local Temperture
Group A (n= 15) received the application of KT from muscle (Rectus femoral) Origin to Insertion, Group B (n= 15) from insertion to origin at the non dominant limb, and the dominant limb will be used as control group. The temperature will be measure using Thermography (Degrees Celsius) before the KT applications, and 24 hs after staying with the KT applied to the skin.
Time frame: The outcome will be evaluated 24 hours after the intervention
