title: Adhesive strapping techniques.
abstract: The thoroughness of the clinical evaluation will dictate the necessity of adhesive strappings and their effectiveness in providing external support to injured areas. It is essential that the mechanism of injury and underlying anatomy be identified. In individual cases, the extent and severity of tissue damage will differ. Therefore, the methods of taping that have been presented are not inflexible, since variations may be necessary to insure proper support, protection, and comfort.
