Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to explore the possible effects Kinesio Tape may have on proprioception in individuals with patellar tendonitis. A supportive knee application, a facilitative hip application, and a combination of the two will be applied and compared. Within and between group comparisons will be drawn. Participants will report for two research sessions with 24-36 hours between. Prior to arrival, they will complete a digital Victorian Institute of Sport Assessment for Patellar Tendonitis (VISA-P) and email it to the researcher. Participants must score less than 80 (out of a possible 100) to be considered for this study. If the individual meets the inclusion criteria, he/she will be scheduled for the 1st session. Upon arrival to the first session, informed consent will be obtained, the VISA-P will be reviewed, and intance of patellar tendonitis will be confirmed through palpation. Participants will then completed a Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK) to measure fear of movement and a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) to measure overall pain. Height and weight measurments will be taken due to requirements of the Biodex Balance System (BBS), which will be used for balance measurements. Participants will take two, twenty-second practice tests, one with eyes open and one with eyes closed, followed by two minutes rest. Baseline testing will then be completed as follows: the participant will complete two tests with eyes open, and two tests with eyes closed on the injured leg, each with one minute rest between. The participant will then be taped with Kinesio Tape to either the hip, knee, or both the hip and knee according to the random group assignment. They will then rest for 15 minutes and complete a second round of balance testing with the same parameters as baseline testing. Participants will be scheduled for a second day no less that 24 hours and no more than 36 hours for re-test purposes. On the second day of testing, participants will be given $10 for their part
