Taping in sport

Taping in sport. Materials. Elastic Adhesive Bandage (EAB) This adheres to body contours and its elastic properties mean that it can 'give' a little with tissue changes. Zinc Oxide Tape This material doesn't 'give' and is therefore ideal to provide restraint and reinforcement.

  1. Taping in sport

  2. Materials Elastic Adhesive Bandage (EAB)This adheres to body contours and its elastic properties mean that it can 'give' a little with tissue changes

  3. Zinc Oxide TapeThis material doesn't 'give' and is therefore ideal to provide restraint and reinforcement

  4. Cohesive strappingAs the name suggests, this strapping sticks to itself. This is practical as no underwrap is required

  5. UnderwrapA thin foam material applied before the tape on sensitive areas

  6. Chiropody FeltThis can be used to protect sensitive areas, or as a 'horseshoe' in a compression support for the ankle

  7. Adhesive SprayUsed to firmly secure a tape job

  8. Adhesive RemoverSolvent to help remove tape from the skin

  9. Tape CuttersA safety blade to quickly remove strappings

  10.  Bandage scissorsScissors with a rounded edge

  11. 1)Taping should never be used as a substitute for treatment by a qualified healthcare professional. • 2)The area to be taped should be clean and dry 3)Tape should be applied smoothly, 4)Once applied, the tape should be checked to make sure the athlete is comfortablewith it. 5)Following activity, a tape cutter or bandage scissors should be used to remove the tape.

  12. Taping for Acute Achilles Tendonitis

  13. Ankle

  14. 1)Ankle is kept at 90 degrees (anatomical position) throughout the process 2)Underwrap is applied. The entire area should be covered with 1-2 layers. 4)Anchors are placed at the musculotendinous junction of the gastrocnemius. 5)Stirrups (3-5) are placed from anchor to anchor. Moleskin reinforces the stirrups.

  15. 6)Secure the stirrups over anchors. 7)Apply heel-locks (two strips on each side). 8)Apply closure (if elastic tape, incorporate heel-lock/figure-8). 9)The application is wrinkle-free, the tension is equal and appropriate

  16. Step 1Start in the forefoot

  17. Step 2Guide the tape diagonally up the foot

  18. Step 3and around the back of the heel bone.

  19. Step 3and around the back of the heel bone.

  20. Step 5Then under the foot and back over diagonally, a little higher this time.

  21. Step 6Then go back around the heel a little higher,...

  22. Step 7then diagonally forwards and around the foot again

  23. Step 8Smooth the bandage under the bottom aspect of the heel and pull upwards, really giving support to the lateral ankle ligaments.

  24. Step 9Then come round the heel again

  25. Step 10and finish off just above the ankle.

  26. for an acutely sprained ankle A horseshoe is cut from chiropody felt and placed around the lateral and medial malleoli.

  27. Taping for sprained ankle

  28. Place two anchor strips on the distal leg and around the foot.

  29. Apply one stirrup, pulling from the leg's medial aspect, under the heel to the leg's lateral aspect. A horizontal 'horseshoe' strip from the foot's medial to lateral aspect is then applied.

  30. The procedure is then repeated until there are three stirrups and three horseshoes.

  31. Close in ankle with horizontal closure strips.

  32. Two heel locks are then applied to the ankle's medial and lateral aspects, making sure to pull on the medial aspect last, to finish the tape job pulling the foot into eversion.

  33. Completed Ankle Wrap

  34. Taping for Plantar Fasciitis

  35. Ankle Taping

  36. Preventative Taping For The Thumb

  37. Preventative Taping For The Finger • Use next finger as a splint Apply 2 simple spirals

  38. Plantar fascia taping • Step 1 • First, an anchor is placed around the heel from the lateral to medial border

  39. Step 2Then another anchor in the opposite direction

  40. Step 3The anchors are then linked by tape strips under the sole of the foot.

  41. Step 4Note how the Plantar fascia is bunched up in order to tape it in a shortened position

  42. position Step 5These straps are continued towards the toes, while maintaining the tissue in a shortened

  43. Step 6An end strap goes right round the circumference of the foot, at the point of the end of the two anchors

  44. Step 7Then another anchor goes over the torn edges of the strips...

  45. Step 8to give a neat finish

  46. Patella tendon tape • Step 1 • The tape is applied with the knee bent. The tape starts by going circumferentially around the upper shin.

  47. Step 2The tape is passed round once...
