Tapes are elastic bands that, after attaching to the surface of the skin, effectively reduce the load on the joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments. In addition, they facilitate blood circulation and lymph flow. Kinesiological knee typing is indicated for various diseases, and also as prevention of possible damage to this part of the musculoskeletal system.
Knee typing with ligament rupture
In this case, the application of elastic bands allows to completely stabilize the knee joint, relieve the load from the damaged ligaments and provide them with rest for the time of restoration. Particularly effective is the presented scheme of typing for violations in the area of the cruciate ligament, its partial rupture, the presence of acute pain syndrome.
The following teip attachment scheme helps to arrest inflammatory processes in patellar ligaments. This ensures reliable fixation of the joint, alleviation of motor activity, pain relief.
Tapping of the lateral ligament of the knee
As a rule, collateral (lateral) ligaments in the knee joint are torn partially, however their damage is accompanied by severe swelling, pain and violation of the flexion and extension functions.
The presented undulating overlapping of the teips helps to cope with these symptoms, to accelerate the fusion of the torn tissues of the ligament, to restore the motor abilities of the joint.
Back knee patching
In the area under consideration, elastic bands are usually attached when the popliteal muscle is damaged, as well as infringement of the tibial nerve in the region of the synovial fold below the knee. These pathologies cause severe pain syndrome when descending the stairs and similar motor loads.
In addition, this teip laying scheme provides support for the ligament apparatus and the joint.
Another option for tying the back of the knee is considered universal, as it helps with such violations:
- injuries of synovial nad- and popliteal folds;
- functional disorders of the knee joint;
- chronic inflammatory processes.
Moreover, the proposed scheme works even with idiopathic (with unexplained causes) pain syndrome. Applying teips also removes puffiness, reddening of the skin over the affected area, helps to reduce the local temperature.
There are many other ways of typing the knee, each of which is designed to alleviate the signs of various diseases. It is desirable that the detailed individual schemes are made by a specialist.
