Bicipital Tenosynovitis

Bidpital tenosynovitis is an inflammation between the long head of the biceps tendon and the sheath which surrounds it. The inflammation most commonly occurs where the biceps tendon crosses under the transverse humerał ligament as it passes through the bicipital groove of the humerus. This condition is most commonly seen in overhead motion activities: tennis, baseball/ volleyball, and javelin.

The Kinesio taping method will assist in reducing inflammation and pain. Bicipital tensosynovitis is generally also associated with rotator cuff impingement or tendonitis.

Application of the biceps musde taping from insertion to origin, this should be applied first as it is the primary tissue to be treated.

Bogiń by placing the base of the Kinesio Y strip two inches below the biceps tuberosity on the radial head/Or superior to the antecubital space on the humeruS/ with no tension.

Ha ve the patient move into shoulder abduction, extension, and extemal rotation.

Apply light, 15-25% of available/ paper off tension to the tails of the Kinesio Y strip. The iateral taił should follow the outside edge of the long head of the biceps, to the supraglenoid tuberosity of the scapula.

The medial taił should follow along the short head of the biceps, to the coracoid process of the scapula.

Lay the distal 1 to 2 inches of both tails down with no tension.

Initiate glue activation prior to any further patient movement.

Application of mechanical correction technique tension on base. For review see mechanical correction.

Begin by placing the base of a 6-8 inch long Kinesio Y strip on the anterior aspect of the shoulder inferior to the coracoid process, with no tension. The base can be adjusted to place the cut of the Y directly below the region of pain.

One hand should hołd the base to ensure no tension is added. Apply moderate to severe, 50-75%of available tension with downward pressure surrounding the area of pain.
