Bandaging & Taping Flashcards
Acute Low back pain taping indication
Acute low back pain
Acute Low back pain taping contraindication
Open wounds, cuts, blisters
Lumbar spine taping indications
- Lumbar dysfunction and pain.
- Avoidance of painful lumbar flexion or postures.
- Application following Mulligan lumbar sustained natural apophyseal glides (SNAGs) or McKenzie extensions.
Lumbar spine taping contraindication
Check skin reaction to tape and tell the patient to remove it if an adverse skin reaction occurs. Tape should not be left on for more than 48 h.
Anti-pronation taping indications
- Foot, ankle and lower-limb injuries caused by hyperpronation.
- A diagnostic tool to assess the value of functional orthotics.
Anti-pronation taping contraindication
Do not apply for plantar fasciitis in the absence of rear foot pronation, or rigid feet with a normal or high-arch/cavus foot.
Contraindication for taping
Acute swelling
Contraindication for bandaging
Wounds, infections, arterial vascular disease
Indications for bandaging
- Protects the injured area (dislocated or fracture)
- Holds the dressing and splints in place (for burns or large open wounds)
- Exerts external pressure to prevent or reduce edema
- Restricts or limits motion
- Reduces pain
- Improves circulation and healing
- Reduces post surgical swelling
- Shapes limb for prosthesis
Indication for FABER
open wounds or burns, retard add and IR tightness which may develop when pt tends to hold the arm in this protection position & minimize or prevent contracture
Indication for EADIR
prevent placement of the UE in abd and/or ER, which may cause further aggravation of orthopedic type of injuries or dislocation.
NOTE: Most common MOI for sh dislocation is ABER
Indication for velpeau
Fractured clavicle or shoulder dislocation
Indication for DF assist
Facilitate heel stroke during gait on stroke patients c extension synergy or any patient c dorsiflexion problems
Indication for Hip spica FABER
Difficulty or problems with EADIR (e.g. OA)
Indication for hip Spica EADIR
To limit FABER
Figure of 8 for ankle indication
Ankle sprain
Low dye taping indication
- Plantar fasciitis
- Medial arch strains
- Tendinitis
- Stress syndromes caused by overpronation
- Shin splints associated with overpronation
