Q
Wrapping definition
A
- application of non-adhesive cloth wrap or tensor
- tensors provide excellent compression, but not support
- focus on reducing by-products of inflammation, initially
2
Q
Taping definition
A
- application of adhesive backed tape
- provide support and compression
- does not allow for underlying swelling
- used in later stages of injury
3
Q
KT tape
A
- first developed in 1979
- adopted by high performance athlete (athletes only represent about 15% of users)
- requires training for application: costly
4
Q
KT tape effects
A
- lifts skin increasing space between epidermis and fascia - helps with lymph circulation and blood flow
- relieves pain by releasing compression on nociceptors (sensory receptor for pain)
- simulates neuroreceptors in skin and fascia stimulating proprioception
- mechanical correction of underlying soft tissue (corrects positional errors)
- increase ROM and improves muscle contraction
5
Q
Tensor (compression) key ideas
A
- don’t impair circulation distal to site of compression
- never wear to bed
- overlap layers by 1/2
- keep roll firmly wound and roll off bottom of tensor
- begin distally and progress proximally
- do not use excessive tension
- test for circulation, no tingling or numbness
6
Q
Cloth wrap key ideas
A
- economical and reusable protection for an ankle that has not recently been sprained
- it will not prevent all ankle sprains but may reduce severity of a sprain
- allows practice of the heel lock (designed to lock the ankle bones of the sub-talar joint)
7
Q
Purpose of taping
A
1) support:
- supports ligaments and joint capsules of unstable joints
- limits excessive or abnormal movements
2) enhance:
- enhance proprioceptive feedback
3) support (injuries)
- support injuries to musculotendinous unit by compression and limiting movement
8
Q
When to tape

- acute injury management (only for support- when acute management do not use for return to play)
- return to activity (after rehab)
9
Q
When not to tape
A
- when further assessment is required
- after an acute injury has occurred
- functional disability/limited ROM
- swelling
- after cold application
- pre-puberty (10-14 years of age)
- for certain sports
- if you are unsure/unfamiliar with athlete’s condition
10
Q

11
Q

A
- hair should be shaved
- Skin: clean, dry, free from oil, etc. covered irritation with a bandage before taping
- underwrap should be used if skin is irritated by the tape
- tufskin for better adhesion (avoid fingers and toes)
12
Q
Positioning of the athlete when taping
A

- should be comfortable
- should pay attention and hold body part in an appropriate anatomical position
13

Documentation
27
What is included int he primary survey of an injury?
ABCs
28
What is included in a secondary survey?
HOPS
29
HOPS
History
Observation
Palpitation
Special tests
30
History on field vs off field
On field:
- mechanism of injury
- noises
- done this before?
- pain scale
Off field:
- detailed open ended questions
- listen to athlete explain the injury in exact detail
- good communication with the athlete is the key
31
Observations on vs off field
On field:
- quickly survey entire scene
- obvious fractures/dislocations
- swelling of exposed area
- bleeding
- deformity
- compare both sides
Off field:
- swelling
Redness
Discolouration
Look at athletes reactions to questions and palpitations
32
Palpitation on vs off field
On field:
- fracture/dislocation
- pain on palpitation, assist with localizing the injury
- feel swelling/temperature
Off field:
- fracture/hot spot
- Pain on palpitation
- crepitation: grating, grinding sensation
33
Special tests on vs off field
On field:
- active ROM
- weight bearing
Off field:
- functional tests: active/passive/resistive ROM
- specific stress tests evaluating joint stability
- bilateral comparison
34
Active ROM
Athlete initiates movement through as much range as possible
Tests: strength of surrounding
- contractile structures (muscle/tendon)
- inert structures (bone/ligament)
- ROM of joint
- athletes willingness to move
35
Passive ROM
Examiner moves the joint through entire ROM (athlete is relaxed)
- go until “end feel” is reached
- do not force the joint if athlete is unwilling to move due to pain or spasm
Tests:
- inert (bone/ligament)
- severity of structure injured
36
Resistive ROM
Examiner provides resistance
(Counter-pressure) against a joint and the athlete attempts to move
Tests:
- contractile structures: strength/weakness of joint contraction with or without pain
37
Testing sequence
1) always perform active testing first
2) if athlete is unwilling to move or feels pain on active movement then do not perform passive an resisted
38
Special testing: stress testing
- stress testing is used to test joint integrity
- examiner determines which tests will assess the condition most effectively
- only those test that are deemed to be absolutely necessary should be performed
39
Referral
- pain and muscle spasm can restrict motion and cause an inaccurate result
- once HOPS is complete, make an assessment of injury severity and what you think the problem is (Not a diagnosis) and decide on your method of referral

179
Functional anatomy of the ankle: muscles

180
Inversion ankle sprain mechanism
- most common
- sports with running, jumping, landing
- fibula causes a longer lever arm on lateral side of ankle
- vertical load on uneven surfaces
- tight Achilles’ tendon
- weak peroneal muscles
181
Ethology of inversion ankle sprain
- combo of plantar and excessive supination when foot contacts the ground
- common changing directions quickly
- fast injury mechanism— muscles cannot contract to control the excessive supination
- ligaments become the only absorbers
- ATFL is primary lateral stabilizer and is most commonly damaged
- CFL can be damages
- PTFL injured in severe injuries
182

B - calcaneofibular ligament
C - posterior talofibular ligament

- pain and swelling on anterolateral and inferior aspects of lateral malleolus
- painful palpitation over ATFL and CFL: may be tender over PTFL and deltoid ligament
- positive anterior drawers and Tamar tilt
Third:
- tearing and popping sensation felt on lateral aspect
- diffuse swelling
- painful or no pain
- positive drawer and tilt
184
Eversion/medial ankle sprain mechanism
- rare
- strong deltoid ligament
- may be associated with avulsion fracture
- lateral malleolus can fracture
- deltoid ligament can avulsion the medial malleolus
- distal tibiofibular joint can be disrupted
185
Grades of ankle sprains
Grade I - mild
- a stretch of the involved ligament
GRade II - moderate
- a partial tear of the ligament with part of the ligament remaining intact
- joint suffers minimal instability
Grade II - severe
- a complete tear of the involved ligament
- ligament may separate completely from the bone and the joint will lose stability
186
High ankle sprain (syndesmotic)
- damage to ligaments holding tibia and fibula together
- more common than eversion ankle sprains
- most debilitation of any sprains in the foot and ankle
187
High ankle sprain mechanism
- dorsifelxion and pronation most common
- foot is planted fixed on the ground with internal rotation of the tibia
- fibula separated from the tibia disrupting the distal tibiofibular ligament
- cutting and pivoting sports
- longer to heal than lower ankle sprain — 6-8 weeks
