چکیده
2 KNEE LIGAMENT TAPING Knee taping is a good tool for the ATP to have in his rucksack treatment categories. By using standard adhesive tape applied directly to the skin, or by using duct tape, it is possible to tape the knee so that the knee and the damaged ligaments are supported. In addition, the taping will also restrict the motion of the knee joint. Prior to taping, the type and area of damage must be identified as to whether it is a patellar dislocation, torn cartilage, torn medial collateral ligament, torn lateral collateral ligament, or torn anterior cruciate ligament. Once the area of the injury is identified, the skin is cleaned to remove any underlying dirt or debris. With the skin dry, the tape may be applied directly to the skin. The initial step is to elevate the heel about two inches. This could be on a roll of tape as shown in Figure 22 or on any other object. By elevating the heel, the knee is flexed, giving the optimal position for taping (Figure 23).
