Combined Balance Taping for Wrist Extension Pain
Application A: If wrist extension with supination is more comfortable than pronation, I-shaped tape is wrapped outward diagonally twice with an approximately 20-30% stretch from the outside of the ulna below the 5th finger to the radial epicondyle (wrapping from the distal to the proximal part) in forearm supination.1)
Note: Never stretch the starting and end points of the tape (approximately 2-3 cm) .2, 3, 4)
Application B: Cross tape of type C (5X6) is applied to the lateral epicondyle.
Results: no pain on wrist extension pain after applying the combined balance taping twice
(Greater pain in wrist extension than flexion)
