Read full bio1. History of Taping and the Evolution of Dynamic Taping
This chapter develops an understanding of clinical need and relevance of taping mechanically by outlining influence of load and force transfer on pathology and movement. It also covers traditional taping approaches and their uses and limitations with respect to managing load and movement, as well as the unique properties of Dynamic Tape® that allow it to address these gaps.
2. The Fundamentals of Biomechanical Taping
This chapter outlines the importance of load with regard to pathology and management, using tendinopathy as an example. It explores factors that influence load and how this may direct our taping application. The crucial elements of obtaining a mechanical effect with tape are described and illustrated.
3. Comparison of Tape Properties
This chapter qualifies and quantifies the properties of various tapes, highlighting why they are suited to their approach or aim. The energy storage and release capacity of Dynamic Tape® is demonstrated, and various clinical scenarios where this may provide a clinical or functional benefit are discussed.
4. Mechanisms
This chapter delves into the various mechanisms responsible for the clinical and functional improvements observed and takes a look at some of the emerging research. Further research is available by visiting www.dynamictape.com.
5. Technique Development
This chapter highlights the important of a thorough assessment, a clear aim, and an understanding of the various contributing factors and pain processes at play. It provides a flowchart to guide the development of a technique to address those aims based on an appreciation of the potential mechanisms, and then guides in the evaluation to determine whether the technique actually created a genuine force and how this addressed the aim.
6. Medical Adhesive-Related Skin Injuries (MARSI)
This chapter compares and contrasts the reactions that can occur in response to adhesive tapes, factors involved in their development, and how to minimize the risk. It also provides students with a clear warning to provide to their clients and instructions on safe application and removal.
