kinesio tex tap does what - Answer - allows ROM
educates a weakened muscle
relieves pain
reduces inflammation & edema
decreases over-extension/contraction of muscle
athletic tape does what - Answer - immobilizes
inhibits movement of joint or muscle
provides pressure support & confinement thus reducing pain
,1
rests muscle & inhibits use
with inflammation, tissue restriction, or limitation there becomes increased ___ and decreased
distance between ____ - Answer - resistance
skin, facia, and muscle
decreased resistance = - Answer - increased function
clinical significance of taping - Answer - Decreasing pain and guarding in acute injuries
Improving ROM and less compensation
Improve and protect joint stability
Fewer secondary impairments arise because decreased the incidence of compensatory
movements
Injured tissue becomes fibrotic/edemic we can reverse the process
Tactile stimulation slows the rate of attenuation causing atrophy
proposed uses of kinesio taping - Answer - Supports/re-educates/Stimulates muscles
Alleviates pain
Removes fluid congestion, edema and inflammation
Supports/corrects joints/allow range of movement
Mobilizes scar tissue
Mobilizes fascia
kinesio taping may stimulate the ___ system to reduce pain
it may also stimulate _____receptors and stimulate the ____ _______ system - Answer -
somatosensory
mechanoreceptors
endogenous analgesic
kinesio taping decreases pain by decreasing pressure on ______ . How does it do this? - Answer
- nociceptors
lifts skin and increases space in dermal regions
kinesio may activate the _____ theory
how does it do this? - Answer - gate control
superficially stimulates first-order afferent receptors of the skin that can inhibit the
transmission of pain at SC level
taping mobilizes ____ - Answer - fascia
taping removes ____ - Answer - fluid congestion
the recoil of the Kinesio Tex Tape over stretched skin lifts the _________, opens the______ ,
and improves _______ flow - Answer - connective tissue
,1
intercellular junctions
lymphatic
when should kinesio tape be applied - Answer - at least 20-30 minutes before activity or
exposure to heat/perspiration
taping precautions - Answer - Clients with CAD (carotid artery disease)

Before sporting activity use tape adherent (tincture of benzoin)
Use extra water resistant tape on hands/feet
Remove tape if:
Blistering - true allergic reaction
Increased pain
stretch % & positioning for edema/bruising - Answer - 0-15% full comfortable ROM
stretch % & positioning for inhibiting/relaxing (space correction) - Answer - 15-20%, fully
elongated
stretch % & positioning for postural correction (functional correction) - Answer - 20-30% correct
position
stretch % & positioning for facilitating contractile tissue - Answer - 25-75% fully elongated
stretch % & positioning for non-contractile tissue - Answer - 50-75% fully elongated
stretch % & positioning for direct facial lift (fascia correction) - Answer - 50-80% fully elongated
HOW TO REDUCE TIGHTNESS / RESTRICTIONS/ SPASMS when taping - Answer - Tissue target
must be on stretched
Tape with 15-20% stretch
When the muscle is relaxed the tape will form convolutions which increase circulations and
help to allow muscle to return to normal length
, 1
How to tape to support weakened muscle - Answer - (25-50%)
Idea support
Facilitate movement
Compensate for weakness
How to tape when joints/ligaments are damaged - Answer - (50-75%)
Provide stability

can assist the _____ depending on _____ - Answer - muscle fibers to fire
amount of assistance we want to give
When taping non-contractile tissue ligament & tendon need to be ____
what % stretch ? - Answer - supported to allow it to heal(50-75%)
TAPING FOR LYMPH DRAINAGE /BRUISING / POSTURAL CORRECTIONS
direction - Answer - Tape is place from proximal to distal over injured area
