Completed a pp li ca tion of the Kinesio Ligament Corrective techniąue. For complete review see medial collateral ligament application.

The knee should be clean shaven and cleansed of any oils or lotions, and in approximately 30 degrees of flexion. Lubrication in the popliteal space is advised to limit friction. Spray adherent should be applied to assist ir\ limited migration of the tape. An underwrap (prewrap) may be applied, however it is highly recommended that the anchors be directly applied to the skin. Apply anchors approximately mid-thigh and mid-calf using a thin elastic tape (sheerlight, lightplast), photo on left. If white tape is used only apply strips in 1 /2 circumferance, to allow for expansion of muscle tissue during activity, photo on right.

Beginning below the knee place the first strip la terał to the tibial tuberosity and directed at the medial epicondyle of the femur. An attempt should be madę to follow the pathway of the medial collateral ligament. Nearly all of the tension should be removed from the elastic tape over the length of the ligament.
