Begin by placing the base of a 6-8 inch Inn ! Kinesio Ystrip on the anterior aspect of th_e2 inferior to the coracoid process, with no tensi ^ i base should be adjusted to place the cut ₀f A t directly below the region of pain.    ^e‘

One hand should hołd the base to ensure tension is added. Apply light to moderate8® i of a vailable tension onto the tails having the??* I surround the area of pain.    |

The tension is added to the tails to create a “ren* effect with the Kinesio Tape. This will place sk^ directly over the area of inflammation, resultin₂ m i decreased lymphatic edema.

Add tension to approximately 1 /2 of the taił length on each strip. Slide the hand holding b_ase I tension, to the point of end tension of the tails.    i

Have the patient move into shoulder flexio_n and | horizontal flexion. Apply the tails of the KinesioY | strip in a spayed out pattem to dissipate the created i fotce, no tension is applied to the remaining tape. 1 Initiate glue activation prior to any further paLI

Brachial Plexus Neurapraxia (Bumer)

Brachial plexus neurapraxia, decrease in function of a peripherai nerve without degenerative changes occurring, is a common injury resulting from stretching or pinching of a cervical nerve root. General terms used commonJy in reference to this condition are: stinger, bumer, or pinched nerve. If the neck is forccd laferaily and has a load placed upon it, the cervical nerve root can be affected.

The Kinesio taping technique will aśsist by reducing effusion, inflammation, pain, and paresthesia. The Jength of the affected cendcal nerve root involved will be taped along its dematome.

The brachial piexus nerve strip can be initiated from either the neck or hand. The importance is that with each segmentaJ application of the brachial plexus nerve strip the segment be placed in a stretch position.

Measure a length of tape from just past the most distal point of paraesthesia, to the occiput of the skuli. Cut a Y in the proximal end to approximately the insertion point of the triceps muscle.

Tear the paper backing at the base of the Y cut and apply approximately a two inch area with no tension to the insertion point of the teres minor and major.

Have the patient move into shoulder flexion with horizontal flexion, and neck rotation with lateral flexion to the opposite side of the injury.

Apply the upper taił along the upper trapezius to the occiput of the skuli. The lower taił is placed either over any detectable trigger point or along the teres minor and major to approximately the axillary border of the scapula.

Have the patient flex their wrist and elbow and maintain shoulder flexion with horizontal flexion. Apply the Kinesio strip with 5-10 %, paper off, tension along the paraesthesia.

At the elbow either adjust the Kinesio strip to miss the olecranon process, to avoid putting pressure on the olecranon bursa, or cut a hole in the middle of the Kinesio strip directly over the olecranon process.

Continue along the forearm and to the dorsum of the hand.

The brachial plexus nerve strip only needs to be applied as far down the arm as the radiating pain is felt by the patient.
