Q

How should you tape for a Knee ACL Injury?

A

Position: Sitting with 30/40* flexion.
- Large EAB; create 2 anchors (above patella by 0.5” & below tibial tuberosity by 1”).
- Create a ‘V’ around the patella (NOT over it).

Q

How should you tape for an Achilles Injury?

A

Position: Prone lying with ankle hanging down over end of bed.

Q

How should you tape for a Groin Strain?

A

Position: Standing evert the hip & bend knee slightly.
- EAB from medial thigh up and around with the 50% rule until you reach the ASIS then go around to the other ASIS, down the front to the other side and back round the the start.
(very similar to hip spica).

Q

How do you tape for a Sprained Finger at the MCP joint?

A
  • Create an anchor around the hand just below the knuckles not including the thumb.

14
Q

How would you tape a shoulder?

A

Position: Standing with hand on hip.
- Create an anchor using Hypafix then Zinc over it from the chest over the shoulder to the scapula.
- Create another anchor at widest point of the biceps whilst it is contracted.
- Apply vertical strips from the bicep to the shoulder.
- Apply strips back to front, then front to back creating an ‘X’ over the shoulder.
- Lock it off with Zinc and more Hypafix.

15
Q

How should you tape for an Medial Patella Glide?

A
  • Hypafix over the patella laterally.
  • place tape on lateral border of patella then apply tension to pull the patella medially before placing it under tension.
    (The tape should be pulling the patella medially).
