Q

Tape grade

A

adhesive tape usually graded according to the number of longitudinal and vertical fibers per inch of backing material

  • the heavier and more costly backing contains 85 or more longitudinal fibers and 65 vertical fibers
  • lighter the tape contains 65 or fewer longitudinal fibers and 45 or less vertical fibers

Q

Adhesive mass

A

should adhere readily when applied and should maintain this adherence in the presence of profuse perspiration and activity
- should contain as few skin irritants as possible and must be able to be removed easily

Q

preparation for taping

A

skin should be oil free and hair should be shaved before tape is applied
- foam pads for heel and lace

20
Q

manual removal

A
  • when pulling from the body don’t tear or irritate the skin.
  • tape should be pulled in a direct line with the grain of the hairs
21
Q

use of tape or scissors or cutters

A

be careful to avoid cutting the tape too near the site of injury

22
Q

Arch tape no. 1

A

arch support

adhesive foam rubber pad with tape from lateral to medial

23
Q

arch tape no. 2

A

the x for the longitudinal arch

kind of like a tear drop but the ends are on the pads of the metatarsals

24
Q

arch tape no. 3

A

the x teardrop arch and forefoot support

you know dis one

25
Q

arch tape no. 4

A

fan arch support

supports the entire plantar aspect of the foot

26
Q

LowDye technique

A

managing the fallen medial longitudinal arch, foot pronation, arch strains, and plantar fasciitis

  • 3 long strips
  • 5 lateral to medial strips
27
Q

sprained great toe

A

what you’ve been doing for turf toe

28
Q

hallux valgus

A

base strip at the distal end of great toe
three strips on the medial side of the toe to keep it in neutral
put a foam pad in between 1st and 2nd toe

29
Q

Turf toe

A
  • designed to prevent extensive hyperextension of the metatarsophalangeal joint
  • base strip at end of big toe and then use a fan
30
Q

Hammer or clawed toes

A
  • designed to reduce the pressure of the best toes against the shoe
  • weave tape between toes
31
Q

fractured toes

A

splints the fractured toe with a non fractured one

- put pad in between them and then tape

32
Q

closed basket weave (gibney) technique

A

used for newly sprained or chronically weak ankles

usual ankle tape

33
Q

open basket weave

A

designed to give freedom of movement in dorsiflexion and plantar flexion while providing lateral and medial support and allowing room for swelling
- may be used immediately after an acute sprain in conjunction with and elastic wrap and cold applications because it allows for swelling

34
Q

continuous elastic tape technique

A

a fast alternative to other taping methods for the ankle

- looks like regular tape but with no horseshoes

35
Q

Achilles tendon tape

A

designed to prevent the Achilles tendon from overstretching

36
Q

MCL

A

used for pt with unstable knees

should never use tape and bracing as a replacement for proper rehab

37
Q

rotary taping for instability of an injured knee

A

provide knee with support when it is unstable especially the medial collateral and anterior cruciate ligaments

  • heel and lace pad
  • elasticon cut on both ends
  • forms a diamond on the knee cap
38
Q

hyperextension

A

prevents the knee from hyperextending and may by used for a strained hamstring muscle of for slackened cruciate ligaments
- make a big X on the back of the leg

39
Q

patellofemoral taping

A

prevents: glide, tilt, rotation, and anteroposterior orientation

40
Q

elbow restriction

A

prevents hyperextension

41
Q

wrist taping technique no.1

A

regular wrist tape

42
Q

wrist taping no. 2

A

stabilizes and protects badly injured wrists

  • with wrist bent toward side of the injured side run a strip of tape from the anchor strip near the little finger obliquely across the wrist joint to the wrist anchor strip
  • basically make an 4 with four strips of tape and then do a figure 8
