Taping techniques

• Athletic taping very firm tape
  applied before the sport and
  removed right after used for
  protection and prevention
• McConnell taping a rigid tape (such as
  Leukotape) applied for different conditions,
  typically patellofemoral pain
• Kinesiotaping

History

• Developed by Kenzo Kase, DC in the early 1970s
  in Japan
• Use spread to other Asian countries and Europe
• Officially introduced to the USA in 1995

What is Kinesiotaping

• Invented by Dr. Kenzo Kase (Chiropractor) in 1973
• Muscles and other tissues could be influenced by
  external forces, yet still allow full range of
  motion
• Originally used in rehab settings in Japan
• First used on volleyball players in 1980s
• Now used more in non-athletic population

• Jim Wallis, ATC, CKT'I
• Born in 1958
• 1983 graduated from WasWngton State University
  and became a certified athletic trainer by NATA.
• 1984 earned MS from University of Arizona.
• 1997 became a Certified Kinesio Taping
  Instructor. Currently, he is the head athletic
  trainer at Portland State University.

Mechanism

• Stimulates proprioceptors which respond to
  position, pressure and stretch
• Stimulates mechanoreceptors
• Facilitates lymphatic drainage by lifting skin to
  create an area of low pressure

8
Benefits

• Decreases pain
• Decreases swelling
• Decreases muscle spasm
• Facilitates weak or atrophied muscles/tendons
  (chronic)
• Inhibits muscles/tendons to reduce spasm or
  stress (acute)

9
Principles of Application

• Acute or overuse injuries distal to proximal
  10-15 tension (paper off)
• Chronic injuries or disuse atrophy proximal to
  distal 25-50 tension
• Correction techniques 50-100 tension
• Tape skin in an elongated position
• I and Y strips, fan is for lymphatic drainage
• When in doubt, less is best

10
Physiological effects of KT

• Endogenous Analgesic System function
• Relieve pain or abnormal feeling on the
  skin muscles
• 2. Muscle function supports the muscle in
  movement
• 3. Lymphatic function lifts the skin and
  promote lymphatic flow
• 4. Joint function hold the joint in better
  alignment

Kinesio Tex Tape Properties

• Mimics elasticity of skin
• May stretch up to 40 of original length
• 100 cotton wave pattern
• Latex free
• Acrylic-based adhesive heat activated
• Water resistant
• Red absorbs sunlight, blue reflects it

19
Kinesio Tape

• Elasticity of 30-40 stretch
• Stretches along longitudinal axis only
• Activated by heat
• No latex
• Can be worn for several days
• Can shower with it

20
Sizes and Types of KinesioTape

• there are several sizes of the Kinesio Tape
  available.Primarily a practitioner will use the 2
  inches (5 cm) by 5.4 yards (5 meters) size.
• This is available in natural, red, blue,and
  black that are treated for water
  resistance.

21

• If the water resistant product is selected, the
  roll will be one meter less in length to account
  for the cost of the water resistant treatment.
  The water resistant product works wet in areas of
  high moisture or for patients working in moist
  enviromnents.

22

• Also available is a 3-inch (7.5 cm) by 5.4yard(5
  meters) roll. This may be required on larger
  individuals or athletes.
• The 1-inch (2.5 cm) by 5.4 yard (5 meters) roll
  may be used for finger or neurological taping.
• 1 1/2 inch (3.75 cm) by 5.4 yard (5 meters) roll
  may be used on ankles or smaller patients.

23

• If the practitioner determines an increase
  temperatures is appropriate in the injury site,
  the red Kinesia Tex Tape could be selected. If
  the practitioner believes that a reduction in
  tissue temperature is required, such as in
  tendonitis, the blue Kinesio Tex Tape could be
  selected. Patients may have a preference for a
  color, and this may affect their perception of
  the effectiveness of the treatment

24
Removal of Tape from Paper Backing

• smoothly remove the paper hacking, hold the tape
  vertically, place your index finger on the top
  edge of the tape. Then by pulling back or flexing
  your index finger towards your body, the tape
  will peel frool its backing.

25
Removal of Tape from Paper Backing

• Any contact with the acrylic adhesive will
  diminish its adhesive abilities. Try to touch the
  adhesive as little as possible.

26
Skin Preparation

• The skin should be free of oils and lotions and
  should be cleaned prior to tape application.
• For a limited number of patients, body hair may
  limit adhesion. If the degree of body hair limits
  adhesion then the practitioner may need to shave
  or clip the area to be treated.

27
Tape Removal

• After several days the acrylic adhesive will
  have become quite strong. During the first few
  days, if an edge of the tape has begun to lift,
  it can be trimmed.
• To remove the tape from the patient it is
  generally much easier to do when they have bathed
  or the tape is moist.

28

• It is best to remove from the top down. This will
  be in the direction of the body hair and should
  limit discomfort.
• Lift the tape from the skin, applying tension
  between the skin and the tape, then push the skin
  away from the tape rather than pulling the tape
  away from the skin.

29

• The application of mineral oil or milk of
  magnesia to the Kinesio Tape has assisted in tape
  remova1.

30
limitations of the Kinesio Taping Method

• Approximately 20-30 minutes is required for the
  glue to become fully activated before the patient
  can become physically active. If activity occurs
  prior to this time, the tape may Come off.

31

• If Kinesio Tape is applied during physical
  activity, an extra adhesive may be needed to
  prepare the skin. Several commercially produced
  spray adherents are available. Once a spray
  adherent is used, the removal of the Kinesio Tex
  Tape will be difficult.

33
Composition of Tape

• While both types of tape are generally made from
  cotton, this is where the resemblance ends.
  Kinesiology tape is very thin and elastic, while
  traditional athletic tape is thicker and
  inflexible. Many athletic tapes contain other
  ingredients, including latex and zinc oxide,
  which can contribute to skin irritation and
  allergic reactions. Kinesiology tape is make from
  100 high quality cotton, with a hypoallergenic
  acrylic adhesive.

34
Method of Application

• Conventional athletic tape is almost always 
  wrapped tightly around a joint or muscle group,
  completely enclosing the area in tape. A pre-wrap
  is generally required to help reduce skin
  irritation. Because there is no elasticity in the
  tape, this technique is used to immobilize or
  greatly reduce the range of motion of the injured
  area.

35

• Kinesiology tape, on the other hand, is seldom
  wrapped completely around any part of the body.
  Instead, it may be applied across an injured area
  and/or along the boundaries of the injured joint
  or muscle group. This type of taping can be used
  to limit unhealthy movement patterns, but still
  allow full range of motion within healthy limits.

36
Wear Time

• Because traditional athletic tape creates
  significant compression of injured tissues, it
  can limit both blood circulation and lymphatic
  drainage.  Skin irritation can also occur due to
  poor breathability, heavy adhesive and friction.
  Thus, it can only be worn for short periods of
  time. Because kinesiology tape is both flexible
  and breathable, one application can be worn for
  several days without skin irritation or other
  complications.

37
Therapeutic Function

• Conventional athletic taping has only two
  functions to provide support and/or to limit
  range of motion in injured or unstable joints and
  muscle groups. It does not have any therapeutic
  or rehabilitative benefits beyond these physical
  functions.

38

• Kinesiology taping, however, actually provides a
  number of therapeutic benefits.
• - pain relief- reduction of inflammation, edema,
  swelling, bruising- re-activation of inhibited
  muscle fibers- accelerated recovery from intense
  exercise- prevention/relief of cramps and spasms

39

• for rigid support of injured or unstable joints,
  conventional athletic tape is indicated. For all
  other therapeutic requirements, kinesiology
  taping provides superior benefits.

40
Tape Stretch/Tension

• the elastic qualities of the Kinesio Tape are
  designed for 55-60lt stretch.
• When applying the KinesioTaping method,it is
  important to apply the Kinesio strip with the
  correct degree of tension.

41

• If you start with a 10-inch strip of KinesioTex
  Tape, and you stretch it to it's maximum
  available tension (40 of overall length), it
  would be 14 inches long.
• During application, if the technique requires 25
  of the available tension, this would actually be
  25 of the total available or 1 inch for a total
  length of 11 inches.

42
Tape Stretch/Tension

• full - (100)
• severe - (75)
• moderate - (50)
• light or paper off - (15-25)
• very light - (0-15)
• none - (no tension)

43
Tape Direction

• There arc two basic application directions for
  treatment of muscles.
• For acutely over-used or stretched muscles, the
  tape is applied from INSERTION to ORIGIN to
  inhibit muscle function
• For chronically weak musc1es or where increased
  contraction is desired, the tape is applied from
  ORIGIN to INSERTION to facilitate n1usde function.

44

• INSERTION to ORIGIN application tape stretch/
  tension is very light or light, 15-25 of
  available tension.
• Remember that the KinesioTape is applied to the
  paper backing with approximately 25 of available
  stretch/tension
• "less is better"

45

• ORIGIN to INSERTION application tension is light
  to moderate, 25-50 of available tension.
• The practitioner should be able to see slight
  separation of the elastic fibers in the Kinesio
  Tape.
