The taping is for use during activity. It is not a substitute for a splint or brace designed for everyday wear. The adhesive of the tape will eventually cause chafing and skin breaks. The taping should be applied immediately before activity and taken off afterwards. Regarding how long you should continue to apply the taping, you should continue to use it until your thumb has normal range of motion and strength in all directions and no pain to stress the injured ligament.

Good point. I've been using a similar tape job using kinesiology tape (hey, it was only a buck at the dollar store, otherwise there's nothing magical about the stuff). It helps prevent further strain during activities. I have unusually long orangutan thumbs and they were jammed many times in sports, and again in a car wreck. So after decades of cumulative damage it doesn't take much to re-injure the thumb joints. But later I switch to a simple neoprene and Velcro strap for routine use, mostly to remind me to avoid stress on the thumb for a few weeks.

This helped me understand how to wrap an ace bandage. Managed to sprain it on a bike handle of all things and i just need to restrict my range of motion while it heals. Curse having tiny hands!

You should ice it now. If you have a lack of motion or strength in it you should seek medical attention to determine the extent of the injury. Thumb injuries can be very persistent if not treated appropriately and a good diagnosis is essential for a good plan of care. You can obtain the tape for this taping at any sporting goods store once it is safe for you to resume activities.

A good way to test if her capillary refill is normal is to perform the test on an adjacent finger or the contralateral thumb and compare the results to the involved thumb.

I broke my thumb and require surgery now. I had my thumb taped (no previous injury, just precaution) during the incident and it was in the position like at 0:52 which my athletic trainer told me was fine.
@bkleineATC10 жыл бұрын
Every athletic trainer is different in their philosophies about how treatments and tapings should be done. The important thing to remember about tapings is that they do not physically hold anything in place. They are proprioceptive cues that provide feedback via the sensory nerves in the skin when a joint gets moved too far out of position. I, personally, don't tape with a flat hand because I don't believe it is functional to sports. That being said, it is entirely possible that the fracture you sustained would have occurred regardless of the position of the taping depending on the mechanism of your injury. There is no conclusive evidence that tapings can contribute to the occurrence of an injury. I suppose it is theoretically possible that it could, but the goal of an athletic trainer to do their best to help their athletes by performing these treatments in the way they feel will best benefit their athletes.

i was playing football and i tackled someone but they landed on my thumb straight up and its been 4 days and it hurts to even pull up my pants i can move the front half but not the back half do you have any suggestions i havent gone to the docters because i dont think its severe but it hurts to pick stuff up

Would this taping work for my thumb that is severely jammed from playing basketball? I need to do something to it for my games because it really hurts when I dribble and shoot or really do anything.
@bkleineATC7 жыл бұрын
Provided your thumb is merely sprained (jammed), this is the tape job I would perform on one of my basketball players. I'd advise you to practice with it for a while as it will change your hand position when ball handling and shooting.

If a player complains about their thumb being numb and hurting do you tape it or put icy hot on it?

Numbness can be an indicator of a condition involving a nerve or vascular structure. These type of injuries should be ruled out before they participate.

Yes, you can. After about 15 minutes of use the tape will stretch a little and you'll have more thumb movement, but still have the ligament support. I use it with wrestlers often.

@bkleineATC10 жыл бұрын
If he is complaining of numbness at that point, as a student, you should involve your ATC. Your athlete will probably be frustrated with you for not giving him the quick fix he wants, but if this is a new injury throwing some tape on it implies you have evaluated it, determined a plan of care and return to play. Regardless of any frustration on your athlete's part it is a good idea to involve your ATC.
@bkleineATC10 жыл бұрын
They bring said, if an athlete presents like that to me and they show good motion, good strength, and intact distal circulation and sensation, I'd do this thumb taping on him and get him back on the field. Often times adding a glove is supportive to minor thumb injuries also.

Use of rock tape or kinesio tape is a very different tape job and not tape is I'd advise using for the taping in this video. It is designed for using traditional athletic tape. There are some very good thumb taping utilizing those tapes and they are absolutely an option.

I can be helpful. Inflammatory conditions such as trigger thumb often have better success using a compressive, elastic tape instead of the more rigid, inflexible athletic tape. This taping is to restrict particular motions vs. applying compression.

Vanessa Quijada not if you do it properly. The tape needs to be laid down, not pulled into place like many other tape jobs. If circulation is impeded it must be redone.
