Finger Sprain, Radial or Ulnar Collateral Ligament

A sprain to the proximal or distal interphalangcal joint is a common injury resutting from activity. It may result from an axial load on the fingertip, abduction or adduction force on the joint. This condition is also commonly referred to as a "jammed finger".

The Kinesio Taping method will assist in reducing edema, pain and provide ligament stability.

L

Begin by placing an anchor in the middle of both the proximal and distal phalanx (above or below the joint you are attempting to stabilize.

Apply a ligament correction technique to the injured joint. For complete review see ligament correction techniąue.

Place the base of the Kinesio I strip below the joint to be stabilized with no tension. Angle the Kinesio 1 strip at a 45 degree angle. With one hand hołd the base so no tension is added.

Apply a ligament correction, 75-100% of available tension, to the center of the Kinesio I strip. Lay dowi the center of the Kinesio I strip directly over the area
