Cotton and nylon with an acrylic based adhesive No stretch 4 way stretch Not water resistant 2 / 30 What is FMT’s foundational approach to “pain” taping applications? Fan taping over area of pain 1-2 stabilization strips with a decompression strip over area of pain 2 stabilization strips only 4” tape over any area experiencing pain 3 / 30 FMT uses what premise to achieve success in pain mitigation by? Taping muscles to decrease tone. Taping the skin overlying the area of pain to locally/centrally modulate pain Taping from origin to insertion on a muscle Taping from insertion to origin on a muscle 4 / 30 The concept of “Skin Shear” of the tape transmits forces to local connective tissue via? Retinaculum Cutis Superficialis/Profundus Nerves Muscles Tendons 5 / 30 Which is NOT a typical instruction when applying tape to the body? Ensure the skin is void of any cream/oils Rubbing tape, post application, to improve adherence Ensure hair is short to allow for proper adherence Blow drying tape in order for it to stick properly 6 / 30 What can create poor skin reactions from tape? Overstretching of tape on skin Paper off tension Rubbing the tape post application Rounding the edges 7 / 30 What is one example of a contra-indication to tape on the skin? Open wounds Pain Swelling No history of skin reactions 8 / 30 What is the best practice when removing the tape from the body? Remove tape slowly while pressing, lightly, on adjacent skin Pull fast so you don’t feel pain With a hair dryer Off the body in a perpendicular direction to the skin 9 / 30 What is a GOAL of fluid dynamic taping? To assist in movement of fluid out of an area of congestion To improve posture To improve speed and performance To decrease posture 10 / 30 The GOAL of postural taping applications is? To decrease chronic pain associated with swelling To lock in your posture passively To remind you when you lose your postural position To improve power 11 / 30 Four key areas where postural taping is of significant importance? Ankles, elbows, sternum, Foot, pelvis, thoracic spine, shoulders Ankles, hips, back, wrist Knee, shins, left malleolus, hands 12 / 30 Which is NOT part of the 3-Step process of posture taping? Place the body in the best neutral position Apply stabilization tape along fascial or movement vectors Apply tape with maximum (100%) stretch Apply tape in a fan orientation 13 / 30 Taping for scapular protraction will? Actively remind the individual where their shoulder is in space Passively locks in the posture Will aid in flushing toxins from the area Is integral in helping you squat more weight 14 / 30 An example of a taping application for upper cross syndrome consists of? 2 strips of tape from AC joint to the opposite scapula while in “neutral” posture. 1 decompression strip over T/L junction 2 stabilization strips over CT junction Fan taping over the sternum 15 / 30 Taping for forward head carriage consists of? 2 stabilizations strips for AC to mid spine 2 strips of tape from mid cervical region to opposite scapula in X pattern 1 decompression strip only at CT junction X tape pattern at the T/L junction 16 / 30 What is an example of a typical instruction when taping for pain? Contract the muscle maximally Tape the area while in a comfortable stretched position Tape in shortened position Rub the area with oil to improve adherence 17 / 30 The typical amount of time the tape application should remain on skin? 1 day 3 weeks 24 hours 3-5 days 18 / 30 Why would one consider using extra wide tape (4” tape width)? To stimulate fewer skin mechanoreceptors To improve performance To stimulate more skin mechanoreceptors To provide protection to area 19 / 30 When addressing elbow pain, try to avoid apply tape over? Antecubital fossa Area of pain The wrist The shoulder 20 / 30 What is another name for postural taping? Pain taping Swelling taping Positional taping Foot taping 21 / 30 What is the current theory of the mechanism of edema taping? Dumps fluid from area of high pressure to low pressure External pumping mechanism Tape has infused anti-inflammatory in the adhesive Blue tape is the best for swelling control 22 / 30 When applying a postural taping app to the foot? Always put the area in a stretched position Place the foot in a neutral position Always contract the gastrocnemius when taping Hold your breath 23 / 30 When applying the tape to the body, never? Stretch the ends of the tape Stretch the middle of the tape Round the corners Apply from origin to insertion point 24 / 30 What is an easy solution to improving the adherence of the tape on the body? Stretch the tape Round the corners Spray the tape with extra adhesive Use oil on the skin 25 / 30 What is an extra step to aid in the removal of the tape from the body? Apply the tape removal agent Rub the tape Use a hair dryer Grip and rip it and hope for the best 26 / 30 Fascia is Dead Alive Doesn't have blood supply Doesn't have a nervous input 27 / 30 Fascia is A layer of muscle tissue A layer of fibrous tissue Doesn't connect throughout the body Does not slide and glide on each other 28 / 30 Fascia does NOT contract Contract Is not alive Does not transmit forces globally 29 / 30 Fascia does Surround muscles Is immoveable Doesn't meant anything to the clinician Does not slide and glide 30 / 30 Taping the skin is a great way to interact with the Muscle Brain Ears Bones Your score is
