Abstract:
This 1976 Canadian program demonstrates the application of strapping for inversion and eversion strains and sprains of the ankle. Strains are an overstretching of tendons which result from ankle injuries. After a rest period of 24 to 48 hours, strapping is essential to restrict movement to aid in healing. Sprains are a more serious injury involving tearing of the ligaments which bind the tarsal and metatarsal bones together through overstretching sheer or compressive forces. Treatment is applied immediately to reduce swelling, first with ice and then with bandaging and strapping. After thoroughly explaining these points, the presenter demonstrates on a live subject how these types of injuries occur and then shows how to properly strap the ankle. and (Critical) This program demonstrates the application of strapping for inversion and eversion strains and sprains of the ankle. The presentation is generally well done and meets its objectives. Thus, the program is recommended for students and practitioners of orthopedic surgery, emergency medicine, nurses and physician assistants.
