Trochanteric Bursitis

Trdchanteric bursitis is a common condidon of the hip which results in inflammation of the trochant eric bursae located on the greatcr trochanter of the femur. It may also be associated with pain from the gluteus medias insertion or iliotibial band friction as it passes over the greater trochanter.

The Kincsio Taping Technique will assist in reducing edema, and pain.

Initial treatment for inflammation or edema is provided by applying two Kinesio lymphatic corree-tive strips. For complete review see lymphatic corrective technique.

Begin by placing the first lymphatic Kinesio fan base approximately at the anterior superior iliac spine. Angle the fan tails at a 45 degrees in a poste-rior and inferior direction.

The second lymphatic fans base is approximately at the posterior superior iliac spine. Angle the fan tails at a 45 degrees in a anterior and inferior direction.

The fan strips should form a crisscross pattem.

The iliotibial band attaches to the tensor fascia lata muscle and generally is not involved due to weak-ness, but increased tension in the iliotibial band.

The iliotibial band taping application can begin at either the origin or insertion. For this application the origin to insertion technique will be shown.

Begin by measuring the length of Kinesio Tex required. Place the base of the Kinesio I strip superior to the iliac crest with no tension.

A second application method is shown in the iliotibial band friction syndrome.

Place the patient in a stretched position for the iliotibial band. Apply light, 15-25 % of available, or paper off tension along the entire length of the ilitotibial band.

Basic Kinesio Taping Technique for the giuteus medius musclc using a Y strip. This in an origin to insertion application.

Begin base of Kinesio Y strip on the lateral surface of the grcater trochanter with no tension. Place the patient in hip flexion, adduction and extemal rota-tion.

Direct the anterior taił towards the anterior inferior iliac spine, with light, 15-25% of availablc, or paper off tension. Lay the finał 1-2 inches down with no tension.

Direct the posterior taił towards the posterior inferior iliac spine, with light, 15-25% of available, or paper off tension.. Lay the finał 1-2 inches down with no tension.

Inititiate glue activation prior to any further patient movement.

Completed application of the Kinesio Taping Method for trochanteric bursitis.

Optional application of the star technique to reduce edema or inflammation directly over the trochanteric bursae.

For complete review see star technique in hemi-ated disk lesion.
