title: Strapping of joints.
abstract: Strapping with adhesive tape plays a significant part in the prevention of joint injuries, particularly at the ankle and hand, and is important during early management of injury and rehabilitation. Recurrence of injury when the athlete recommences training is less likely when supportive strapping is applied.
