Taping

Question 1

Taping indications

Answer 1

Relieve pain
** Improve joint stability
Reduce injury recurrence
**Prevent injury
**Correct poor biomechanics
Facilitate muscle action
Inhibit over-contraction
**Enhance proprioception
Compress in the presence of edema

Question 2

Taping 3 key factors that sum it all up

Answer 2

Stabilize or support an injury

Relieve pain by de-loading vulnerable or painful structures

Facilitate normal movement, muscle action, or postural patterns

Question 3

taping vs. bracing

Answer 3

taping = need som expertise
Tape= best choice for return to sport
Bracing= No expertise needed
Cost-effective but not the best choice

Question 4

Kines. Tape proposed benefits

Answer 4

Proprioceptive facilitation
Reduced muscle fatigue
Muscle facilitation
*** Muscle inhibition
Reduced delayed-onset muscle soreness
Pain inhibition
Improved healing
Reduced edema
** Improved lymphatic drainage

Question 5

How does kinesio tape relieve pain

Answer 5

deloading vulnerable or painful structures

Question 6

kinesio tape facilitates —– and —–

Answer 6

1. facilitiates normal movement, muscle action, or postural patterns
2. Stabilize or support an injury

Question 7

Kinesio tape pt. population

Answer 7

Primarily used to prevent and treat sports injuries
Can also be used to alleviate pain and improve healing in soft tissues.

Question 8

biggest difference kinesio and mcconell tape

Answer 8

KINESIO TAPE = MOVEMENT
NOT GOOD FOR KEEPING JOINT IN POSITION
MCCONNEL – RIGID , POSTURE

Question 9

Kinesio tape: CNS theory

Answer 9

pain modulation by activating afferent pathways and turning on mechanoreceptors

Question 10

Kinesio tape: skin theory

Answer 10

even a little bit of stretch changes concentration and density of dermis and epidermis

Question 11

Kinesio tape: fascia theory

Answer 11

Tension elements encourage homeostasis.

Question 12

Kinesio Tape Circulatory/Lymphatic theory

Answer 12

Opens microvalves and decompresses the skin.

Question 13

kinesio tape: joint theory

Answer 13

Creates space in joints
Increased space=decreased chance of joint irritation.

Question 14

Unstretched kinesio tape application and what it does

Answer 14

JOINT MUSCLE AND SKIN IS STRETCHED BEFORE TAPE APPLICATION
improves subcutaneous flow of blood and lymphatic fluid

Question 15

Stretched kinesio tape application

Answer 15

Tape is stretched before application to the skin
provides support for correction and stabilization of affected joints/ligaments

Question 16

Contraindications kinesio tape and mcconnell tape

Answer 16

Malignancy
Infection/cellulitis
Open wounds
DVT
Previous allergic reaction to kinesiology tape
Fragile skin

Question 17

Precautions for kinesio tape and mcconnell tape

Answer 17

Diabetes
CHF
Dialysis/kidney disease
Organ transplants
Pregnancy - indicated, helpful with lBP management

Question 18

severe 75% stretch for

Answer 18

tendon

Question 19

full 100% stretch for

Answer 19

ligament

Question 20

McConnell Taping used for

Answer 20

Affects biomechanics of a joint and is primarily used for NEURO RE-EDUCATION and POSTURAL STABILITY

Question 21

I strip used for

Answer 21

support and posture
Often used to facilitate rotator cuff, gluteus muscles, quadriceps or the achilles’ tendon.

Question 22

Y or V strip used for

Answer 22

control the position of the knee cap as in patellofemoral stress syndrome or subluxing patella.

Question 23

fan strip used for

Answer 23

control swelling in leg or arm. Can be used in lymphedema management as well.

Question 24

X used for

Answer 24

cross multiple joints

Question 25

McConnell Taping proposed physiological mechanisms

Answer 25

mechanoreceptors

Information integrated with visual and vestibular input at CNS level

Perception of position sense (in static) and kinesthesia (dynamic)
