Taping Rectus Femoris

The quadriceps is a large group of muscles, the most massive of the leg, located in the anterior (front) of the thigh. They originate from above the hip joint and extend to below the knee.
The primary action of the quadriceps is to extend the knee joint, but in conjunction with a number of other muscles in the front of the hip, they are also associated with hip flexion. Rectus femoris is part of the quadriceps femoris, which also includes the vasti group: vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, and vastus intermedius. It has two heads of origin.
Trigger points in the quadriceps are commonly responsible for painful hip, thigh and knee conditions. Note that Trigger points in the rectus femoris can often cause a deep aching pain in the front of the knee, even though the trigger points themselves are typically found closer to the hip.

I assume it helps support and stabilize, trouble areas to either heal or prevent injuries. I don't know for certain sorry, my guess is bc I had a deep injury with stitches but when I switched to a silcone tape patch I was able to move the muscle like the injury hadn't happened but whenever I took it off to breath and change, it once again hurt and was difficult to move the muscles, it made a night and day difference.

This would be more informative if shown from overhead.

Is there any difference if you anchor first at distal or proximal?

[@Nielasher]

Hi Anthony,
This is a really interesting question. It has been suggested that proximal to distal facilitates muscle activation whereas distal to proximal inhibits muscle contraction. However a recent study by Dolphin et al 2021 disputes this. Consideration may also need to be given to how the tape is applied in a closed or open chain position.
