This claim is supported through several scientific articles pertaining to different studies done with kinesiology tape. Muscle fatigue is caused by activities and exercise that tire out the muscle and decrease its ability to produce force. When muscle fatigue sets in, stability within the body lessens, specifically around the joints and ligaments attached to the muscles. When stability weakens there is greater risk for injury because the muscles stop contracting and supporting the joints and ligaments as they should. This can lead to severe joint pain as well as torn ligaments. By using kinesiology tape, injuries like these can be prevented by providing extra support and limiting the strain put on joints and ligaments once the muscle becomes
Background. Dorrence Darling II, at eighteen years old student who broke his right leg playing college football. Darling II was taken to the emergency room at Charleston Community Memorial Hospital for medical attention and treatment. Charleston Community Memeorial Hospital was a “rural, fifty-bed hospital in downstate Illinois” (Weit, p.399). Dr. John R. Alexander, the emergency room physician, treated Dorrence by applying traction and placing his leg in a cast. Shortly after the cast dried, “Dorrence began experiencing pain in his toes, which became swollen and discolored and later cold and insensitive. On several occasions thereafter, Alexander made slight modifications to the cast including
Ankle sprains have three degrees of injury ranging from 1-3. The level of the ankle sprain is determined by the amount that the ligament is torn or stretched. A grade one sprain is categorized as a slight stretching and damage to the fibers of the ligament. A grade 2 sprain is characterized as partial tearing of the ligament and abnormal laxity of the ankle. A grade 3 sprain is characterized by complete tear of the ligament if it can be pushed or pulled in certain movements there is gross instability. The movements of the ankle are abduction, adduction, plantar flexion, dorsiflexion, and inversion, eversion. The ligaments of the ankle hold the ankle bones and joint into position. These ligaments protect the ankle joint from abnormal movements such as twisting, turning, and rolling of the foot.
This article is about the results of a survey conducted by three PhD’s; Janet Simon, Matthew Donahue, and Carrie Docherty, and was published by the International Journal of Athletic Therapy and Training. The purpose of the survey was to determine Athletic Trainers current utilization of ankle support, and to determine ATs current attitudes towards the use of ankle taping and bracing. It gives some history and benefits of ankle bracing and taping, and how it has become a multimillion dollar industry, considering that 66-73% of all college athletes have reported an ankle sprain. Also, a third of people with ankle sprains will either re-sprain the ankle or report feelings of instability after the initial sprain. Ankle taping has become essential part of sports medicine,
I learned from this article that pneumatic compression stockings and anti-embolism stockings can also be used instead of ankle exercise. As the article stated, "anti-embolism stockings, pneumatic compression stockings, and anticoagulants will help prevent the deep vein thrombosis” (Pellino, 1994). Moreover, the article also discussed a lot of other helpful interventions to assist the patients with hip fractures, including assessing the patient's skin integrity and applying moisturizing lotions. In sum, this exercise has significantly increased my understanding about taking

War creates all kinds of hardships on everyone involved whether it is overseas on the front line or right in our own backyard. During World War II one hardship faced in the United States was the lack of laborers to work the land and other taxing jobs here in the United States.

It is estimated that one million people visit a physician for ankle injuries. In sports, 10 to 30 percent of athletes suffer from ankle sprains. Ankle sprains will be further investigated through five topics. The five topics on ankle sprains will be a clear definition with causes, the different types, prevention, treatment, and ankle sprains in sports……………………..
