Taping Directions
TAPING TECHNIQUE DIRECTIONS

To begin the proper technique in wrapping an injury of the bone or muscles you will first need to figure out what the person injured. For example, an injury to the ankle would lead to a different wrapping technique than for the shoulder or arm. To begin for an ankle injury, you need to gather your materials. Some items you might need would be tape adherent, heel and lace pads, pre-wrap, and athletic tape. Next, position the patient somewhere sturdy where they would be able to elevate and extend the leg for easy access. Place the foot in a 90 degree angle and hold it there throughout the taping process. You should then begin to prepare and pre wrap the ankle by placing one pad over the front of the ankle and the other over the back of the ankle. Then cover the foot and ankle with pre-wrap, starting from the arch of the foot and going up to the bottom of the calf muscle and use the spray adhesive to help secure the pre-wrap. Place two anchors of athletic tape at either end of the pre-wrap and then apply the "stirrups" of athletic tape to the foot. Have one of the stirrups starting on the inside of the ankle, wrap it under the heel, and tape it to the outside of the foot. Repeat that process two more times for a total of 3 stirrups on the foot. Next place three horseshoes behind the achilles tendon to support the ankle. After applying the horseshoes, create a figure eight by starting in the inside of the foot, wrap around the lower leg, then cross over the top of the ankle and continue to wrap under the arch. Secure the tape by creating a "heel lock" on the inside and the outside of the ankle then tape another figure eight over the heel locks. To end the taping, make sure you close up any openings of tape that could be potentially exposed. If the person is still experiencing pain, suggest that they go to a doctor to find out if there may be a bigger problem with the injured area. If the person is experiencing pain and/or discomfort with the tape on the injured area have the person not mobilize the area further as it may cause them more pain. In case of an emergency please contact emergency medical professionals that would assist you with your problem.
