fAcromioclavicular Joint Sprain

A sprain the acromio clavicular (AC) joint is a very common injury resulting from falling on an outstretch and, landing on the point of the shoulder, or landing on the shoulder from the side. Pain and inflarrunation re generally felt on the "point" of the shoulder and can be felt during active shoulder movements.

The Kinesio technique uses the elastic qualities of the tape to hołd down the clavicle near its formation of he AC joint with the acromion process of the scapula. The Kinesio strip will be applied using the mechanical rorrection, using significant stretch and downward pressure. A lymphatic correction technique may also be ised to reduce edema as a result of the injury.

Option One: In the acute phase two lymphatic correction strips will be applied. For complete review see lymphatic corrective technique.

Begin by placing the base of the Kinesio fan strip near the middle one third of the spine of the scapula, direct the tails of the fan over the AC joint and towards the anterior deltoid region.

A second strip begins by placing the base of the Kinesio fan strip near the middle one third of the clavicle, direct the tails of the fan over the AC joint towards the posterior deltoid region.

The two strips should form a crisscross pattem.

Option Two: Application of the Donut Technique for reduction of inflammation. Begin by cutting a hole in the center of a 6-6 inch Kinesio I strip. Tear the center of the paper backing and apply 10-25 % of available tension. Apply the donut directly over the AC joint, laying the ends down without tension.

A series of two to three strips can be applied to maximize the lifting effect of the donut hole tech-nique.
