Q

Taping for plantar fasciitis indication

A
  1. Plantar fasciitis
  2. Longitudinal arch sprains
  3. Acute or chronic midfoot sprains
  4. Flat feet or fallen arches
  5. Medial knee pain caused by flat feet
  6. Bone spurs
  7. Shin splints
  8. Medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) – chronic or acute
19
Q

Inferior tibiofibular joint taping indication

A

Inversion trauma of the ankle resulting in a positional fault of the inferior tibiofibular joint.
When a mobilization with movement (MWM) has restored pain-free function.

20
Q

Inferior tibiofibular joint taping contraindication

A

In acute stages, ensure that taping does not prevent a reduction in swelling by being too tight or encompassing the leg.
Also rule out the possibility of an avulsion fracture of the fibula.

21
Q

Prophylactic ankle sprain indication

A
  1. Preventive taping to protect lax ligaments and ‘weak’ ankles
  2. Final stages of ankle sprain rehabilitation, when less specific ligamentous reinforcement is sufficient
  3. Chronic inversion sprains
  4. Chronic medial sprains (reverse heel locks)
22
Q

Open basket weave indication

A
  1. Acute (inversion) lateral ankle sprain
  2. Acute (eversion) medial ankle sprains: reverse strips to support medially damaged structures
  3. Acute postcast removal
  4. Splinting for suspected ankle fracture: use less tension and apply equally to both sides
  5. `Acute ankle contusion: apply tension to injured side
23
Q

Open basket weave contraindication

A

Not able to WB

24
Q

LCL Knee sprain taping indication

A
  1. LCL sprains: 1st and 2nd degree
  2. Post immobilization of 3rd-degree LCL sprains
  3. Can be combined effectively with taping techniques for MCL or multiple knee ligament injuries
25
Q

MCL knee sprain taping indication

A
  1. MCL sprains: 1st and 2nd degree
  2. Post immobilization of 3rd-degree MCL sprains
  3. For medial meniscus injuries: emphasize spiral strips which cause internal rotation of the tibia
