The resource contains handouts and instructions for discussing traditional non-stretch tape, mainstream elastic tape and dynamic/kinesiotape.
The lesson contains step by step instruction for applying a basic wrist taping. The basic tape job can be used as anchors for the addition of a full hand tape job or a thumb spica wrap.
This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:
"A new study suggests that in children and adolescents with first-time patellar dislocation and an associated loose body, reconstruction of the medial patellofemoral ligament, or MPFL, is more beneficial than repair or no treatment related to the ligament at the time of surgery for the loose body. First-time dislocation of the patella, or kneecap, and resulting MPFL injuries are usually treated nonoperatively. However, recurrent dislocation occurs in over one-third of patients. In addition, among pediatric patients, about half of dislocations create a loose piece of bone or cartilage known as a loose body. Most patients experience recurrent instability if the loose bodies are removed or fixed without reconstruction of the MPFL. But because MPFL reconstruction carries some risk, the best treatment for young patients remains controversial..."
