Functional taping and kinesis taping
This highly practical unit covers both classic taping as well as the increasingly popular kinesio taping that has gained popularity in recent years.
Classic tapes are functional adhesive bandages designed to provide stability to joints and help prevent unwanted movements. These tapes can provide stability to joints, especially after injuries to the ligaments, allowing for earlier resilience. Furthermore, they can be used to support chronically unstable joints. Tapes can also be used for pain relief and functional improvement in cases of joint pain. Various ankle supports, braces for rotational instability of the knee, shoulder joint fixation bands, and wrist bands up to a sling bandage for the thumb basal joint are covered in the practical part.
Kinesio taping is used to treat pain, inflammation, and swelling using an elastic, self-adhesive bandage. Following a detailed anamnesis and various tests, the tape is applied to the body where it can best achieve the desired effect. The tape remains in place for several days to two weeks to achieve a better effect. Kinesio tape is attributed with versatile effects, such as improving blood circulation and metabolism, activating the lymphatic system, influencing muscle function, and thereby improving muscular stabilization of joints. In practice, kinesio taping is tested on 19 different muscles.
