Ankle Strapping - Taping Ankle with Injured Ligaments - Dr Gill

The ankle is one of the most commonly injured joints in the body, as a result, it is vitally important that medics have a basic understanding of how to strap an injured ankle in order to reduce the changes of a sprain or strain worsening, and also enabling the person to walk.

In this video we will look at the basics of how to apply ankle stirrups, ankle figure 6 straps and finally the heel lock taping

During ankle strapping following a sprain or strain, it is important to use zinc oxide tape to prevent movement. Supportive taping can be done using physio tape, but this will allow a greater range of movement, and thus would not be indicated in this use case

Different medical schools, nursing colleges and other health professional courses will have their own preferred approach to a clinical assessment - you should concentrate on THEIR marks schemes for your assessments.
