1. Wrapping and taping techniques

2. Wrist Compression Wrap
________ get permission (10 pts)
________ expose the area (10 pts)
________ roll ace bandage on (10 pts)
________ start wrapping in correct area(dorsal side) (10 pts)
________ pull tight in the beginning (10 pts)
________ decrease tension as you go(10 pts)
________ overlap by half (15 pts)
________ cover entire area (15 pts)
________ wrapping completed within 1 minute (10 pts)

3. Steps-YOU must sanitize before you begin
1. Ask Permission 2. Expose the area 3. “Roll” the bandage on 4. Start on top of hand/foot and pull slightly tight. Overlap by half. As you go down the extremity pull LESS on the bandage. We want the swelling to go out to the body. 5.CONTRACT muscle WHILE WRAPPING 6. Secure with clip on top of area.

4. Signs & Symptoms if it is “too” tight
Red, white or blue skin
Patient feels numbness and tingling in area
Patient feels pain
Extreme tightness.
SOLUTION:REMOVE IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!

5. Injuries for Ace Bandage Wrapping techniques
Sprain
Strain
Closed Fractures
Swelling
Bruising

6. Wrist compression wrap-decrease swelling and create support (2 inch Ace bandage)

7. Correct Incorrect

8. Ankle Compression Wrap-ALWAYS SANITIZE
________ get permission (10 pts)
________ expose the area (10 pts)
________ roll ace bandage on (10 pts)
_______ start wrapping in correct area(dorsal side of toes) (10 pts)
________ pull tight in the beginning (10 pts)
________ decrease tension as you go (10 pts)
________ overlap by half (15 pts)
________ cover entire area (15 pts)
_EXEMPT_wrapping completed within 1 minute (10 pts)

9. Ankle compression wrap-decrease swelling (3 inch bandage)
Start by toes
With a lot of tension
Less tension

10. Ankle Sprain/strain-ALWAYS SANITIZE
________ get permission (10 pts)
________ expose the area (10 pts)
________ roll ace bandage on (10 pts)
_______ start wrapping in correct area(dorsal side of toes)(10 pts)
________ pull tight in the beginning (10 pts)
________ perform figure eight (16 pts)PREVENTS INVERSION
OR EVERSION
________ overlap by half (12 pts)
________ cover entire area (12 pts)
__EXEMPT______ wrapping completed within 1 minute (10 pts)

11. Ankle wrap for sprains/strains with figure eight-compression & prevent inversion or eversion (3 inch Ace bandage)

12. Taping materials
Heel and lace pads-put on highest friction areas of a tape job
Adhesive spray(tufskin)-makes tape stick to skin
Prewrap-covers hair on extremity
Conform tape-covers area & provides compression
White tape (Zonas)-provides support & stability
Elastikon-most expensive tape for BEST Support and Stability
SAFETY SCISSORS-only type of scissors used to cut of tape job…EVER!!!!!!
THE Best Tape Job is tape to skin!!!!

13. Tape sizes ½ inch for fingers(2-5) and toes(2-5)
1 inch for thumb, great toe and arch of forefoot
1 ½ inches wrist, ankles, forearm, and knee
2 inches shoulder, hip and back*
* 250 pound + person for ankles, wrists, forearm and knees.

14. Tearing
tape

15. Arch Technique 3 arches Function: to support arch support the arch 1 32

16. 3 types of arch support
1. Medial longitudinal arch-start opposite side and pull up medial
2. Lateral longitudinal arch-start opposite side and pull up lateral
3. Transverse arch-pull up on both sides at the same time.

17. Components and Functions for the arch tape job
Anchor- to secure tape components to it. Must be at Metatarsal heads. Must end on dorsal surface of foot.
X’s- support the arch
Horizontal strips-support arch. The side you pull up on is the side you support.

18. ________ ask permission ________ expose the area and simulate spraying
adhesive spray
________ dorsiflex the foot
________ place anchor at metatarsal heads(dorsal side)
________ start at plantar surface of pinky or great toe
________ finish at plantar surface of pinky or great toe
________ X’s are present & performed correctly
________ fanning occurs between pinky and great toe
________ close up overlapping by half to metatarsal
heads
________ use prewrap and conform tape to foot
________ end tape job on dorsal surface of forefoot
___EXEMPT_____ performed under 5 minutes 1

19. Steps for ankle tape job
1. ask permission and what side hurts 2. expose the area 3. simulate spray adhesive to ankle 4. simulate applying heel and lace pads 5. apply prewrap 6. apply 2 anchors-base of calf and under base of 5th metatarsal
7. apply 3 stirrups 8. close down 9. apply 1 figure eight 10. apply heel locks- 2 total 11. apply horseshoes(2) 12. Apply 2nd figure eight 13. Close up

20. Sprain/Strain Taping Functions
Anchors(2)- to secure tape components to it
Stirrups(3)-prevent inversion or eversion
Close down-secure area
Figure eight(1)-prevent inversion or eversion
Heel locks(1pr.=2)-locks in the heel
Horse shoes(3)-secure posterior heel
Figure eight (1)-same
Close up-secure area
1 anchor
Close down
2 anchor
Close up
Heel lock(4)

21. 2 Anchors- place at base of calf and before styloid process.
3 Stirrups-(Medial side)base of calf, under foot, base of calf (Fan them out overlapping by half)
2 Figure eights-(lateral sprain) medial malleolus, under foot, top of foot, around lower leg.
2 (1 each side)Heel locks-malleolus, achilles tendon, lock in heel ,under foot, top of foot, malleolus, achilles tendon, lock in heel, top of foot
3 Horseshoes-malleolus, achilles tendon, malleolus

22. Thumb and Wrist Taping
Function: to provides support for the thumb joint following a sprain injury

23. Supplies-prewrap and 1 inch white tape (thumb) 1 ½ inch white tape for wrist
Spicas-prevents thumb flexion
Location-anchor, around 1st MCP jt, anchor
C-strips- prevents thumb extension
Location- anchor to
anchor

24. 3 wrist anchors
1 anchor through palm of hand
3 or 4 spicas so X is over 1st MCP jt. (metacarpal phalangeal)
C-strips palm anchor to dorsal hand anchor (fill it in overlapping for half)
Perform another anchor through hand
Close down on wrist with 3 more anchors

25. Knee Hyperextension Taping
Functions:
To prevent knee hyperextension
To provide support for hamstrings and cruciate ligaments following injury

26. Collateral Ligament Taping
Function: to provide joint stability following injury to the MCL or LCL ligaments 26

27. Elbow Taping
Function: to prevent elbow hyperextension
