Kinesio-Tape on arm
Kinesio-Tape is one of the alternative healing methods and is used for diseases of the arm, among other things. Kinesio-Tape is an elastic cotton tape with an acrylic adhesive layer which is applied to the skin. How to tape the arm properly depends on the injury.
Kinesio-Tape is helpful, for example, in the case of so-called tennis elbow or tendonitis. However, there are general instructions that should always be followed when applying kinesio tape. Before applying the tape the skin must be depilated and cleaned with soap.
To make the tape stick longer, it helps to round off the corner and not to touch the adhesive surface while sticking it on. Before applying the tape, it should be warmed slightly, for example by rubbing it briefly between your hands. Kinesio-Tape is supposed to relieve muscles and joints and there are many different ways to tape.
If you have tennis elbow, the arm is overstrained and the pain is on the outside of the elbow. The arm is stretched in the elbow joint and bent in the wrist while tapping. The first longer kinesio tape is stuck to the outer side of the elbow, starting from the back of the hand, over the forearm.
The second tape is shorter and is pulled from the lower inner elbow to the back of the elbow. The decisive factor is the correct pull at the optimal point. To ensure this, it is recommended that such tapes are only applied by experienced therapists.
Summary
The human arm with its anatomical structure is the organ of a human being with the greatest possible range of movement. In addition to the individual movements, it also serves to maintain balance. For this reason, the human being swings his arms back and forth when walking.
The numerous movements and functions are carried out by the blood/lymph vessels and nerves of the arm, usually running in a connection from the shoulder to the fingers, thus supplying the entire arm with nutrients and oxygen. Numerous smaller vessels branch off from the large connected vessels to supply the entire arm. Likewise, the individual nerves are responsible for different structures of the arm, so that injury to a nerve on the upper arm can also lead to the failure of individual muscles on the forearm or hand. – the three large bony parts of the arm,
- Their articulated joints, and
- Muscles mediated.
