At Milliken Healthcare, we are empowering stronger athletes with our cohesive bandages and adhesive tapes that help prevent sports injuries and assist athletes with post-injury recovery.
Foot and ankle injuries are among the
most common injuries sustained by athletes. (1) These types of injuries
impact athletes physically and physiologically – ultimately leading to lost
game time.
Because of the high amount of ankle
injuries, athletic trainers have turned to wrapping athletes’ ankles before
every game to prevent injury. The goal is to support the ankle joint and limit range of motion.
The taping methods shown
below can be used for basic ankle injury prevention, ankle post-injury
stability, and various post-injury situations. These techniques show multiple
ways to provide injury prevention and post-injury stability for inversions,
eversions and high ankle sprains.
