KT Tape: Wrist
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ส.ค. 2024
- The wrist is made up of eight small bones (carpals) that support a narrow passage called the carpal tunnel. The carpal tunnel, supported by a ligament, carries through it the tendons that control the motions of the hand and fingers as well as the nerve that causes such great pain in the condition known as carpal tunnel syndrome. The wrist primarily is designed to provide range of motion and versatility, but is built in a way to provide stability as well.
Sprains can range from mild to severe, and are graded according to the amount of damage to the ligament. A sprain by definition is damage only to the ligaments when they are stretched beyond normal range, and not to the bone. In some cases bone may be torn away resulting in what is called an avulsion sprain.
Grade I: ligaments are stretched but not torn, and mild to moderate pain exists
Grade II: partial tears of the ligaments exist and range of motion is decreased; pain is generally moderate and discoloration is present
Grade III: complete tears of the ligaments exist that require immediate medical intervention; pain is generally severe and discoloration is certainly present
Wrist sprains or instability can be caused by many factors. Overuse activities such as typing, cutting hair, or racquet sports can cause inflammation of the carpal tunnel and the resultant pain. Trauma such as falling on an outstretched hand can tear or even rupture ligaments that hold everything together. The blunt force during this type of trauma can also cause fractures and bruising that make it very difficult to move the wrist. Other modes of injury include being pushed into something, extreme twisting of the wrist, or mis-hitting something with only a portion of the fist. Contact sports, recreational downhill activities, and occupations at heights create situations common to wrist sprains.
Pain ranges from mild to severe based on the grade of sprain and the damage done to the ligaments and bones. The pain is recreated with almost any movement of the wrist, especially extension. Swelling, discoloration, and radiating pain into the arm and hand are common symptoms. Often times the wrist will be warm to the touch as well.
KT Tape is appropriate for Grade I and II sprains, and Grade III sprains after seeking medical attention. KT Tape provides stability through proprioceptive feedback and mechanical support. Additionally, KT Tape is very comfortable and allows for slight healthy range of motion in order to speed the healing process. Other treatments include rest, ice, NSAIDs, and in very severe cases surgery. It is very important to get an accurate diagnosis is moderate to severe cases in order to avoid complications in the future.
Treatment
This KT Tape application will take pressure off of the wrist and help to facilitate normal movement and decrease inflammation. As a result of the decreased inflammation and support, pain will quickly be decreased -- if not eliminated.

I like how you show the different stretch percentages! That helps a lot!
When is KT Tape going to produce videos for people who have to tape themselves?
I tape myself all the time. Just use a short stick to get it out to the areas you cannot reach with your arms. Hard to explain what I am saying, but self application can be done quite easily.
as of 2/18 they obviously haven't done it yet lol
sandy white amen!! I use my teeth. Lmao
Most logical reply I’ve ever read on TH-cam. Thx Kel Sco
what do you mean by short stick?
Thanks for the suggestion. We'll keep that in mind for the next round of videos! We always welcome input!
She sure does have a lot of injuries!
It’s always Mikayla
Not funny 🤨
😅😂😂😂
Lmao
She's not injured. They're using her like a model for the demonstration.
The tape is designed to stay on for 3-7 days if you get the Pro. Because of the heavy usage of hands with a lot of movement and washing it will probably be closer to 3 days but you leave it on during washing and showering. Let us know how it goes!
About three days
You can leave it on when you shower? 😮
@@MarryitMeMary yes I use KT Tape sometimes and as the instructions mentioned you can shower with it and get it wet and it's absolutely fine and you can also ice pack over it if you want to it's pretty good stuff
a friend applied the tape to me and so far its been on all day without coming off or rolling up and that's with me working in a warehouse, i even took a shower with it on and its still attached, Awesome product!
How about a video with a technique showing how to apply this on your own?
OMG my wrist feels like Heaven right now! Thank you so much.
This tape is great for sprains and preventing injuries. The best use was to get rid of warts which 5 dermatologists failed at doing. It’s much better than using duct tape.
I was a little skeptical of using KT tape at first, but now I find that I'm using it more often that I thought I would. I'm a Crossfitter and KT tape is super helpful for getting solid quick recoveries for the little sprains and soreness issues that come up from time to time. I tweaked my wrist today on hand-stand pushups and now I'm trying this video's application of KT tape along with icing and an anti-inflammatory. Thanks for the video!
i broke both my wrists 4-5 years ago (not at the same time), skipped rehab because of work. both of my hands felt weak, my wrist wre cracking and had tremor in my hands etc. tried this kt tape on myself last year both my hands are fine now! Thank you!!!!!
You have tfcc on that time?
*Nah, girl.* I call B.S. If you *honestly* broke your wrists, *you would have been in a cast* and _possibly pinned._
In your wrist ALONE, there are *eight tiny bones and three intricate joints BEFORE you even talk about the enormous, complicated vascular system or your hand!* As someone with a long medical career, I find your story 95% impossible. *Wrist BREAKS, do not heal from any "K-Tape'.*
KT Tape is not as bulky or restrictive but still gives you the support you need. Plus you shower with it on so you're never without support.
I have had really bad wrist pains from tennis lately. As soon as I put on the KT tape, it immediately felt a lot more supported.
You'll notice that the tape doesn't have tension on the sides which will keep it from functioning like a tourniquet. This updated version is just as effective as the old version but easier to follow and apply.
The last strip is to support the tendons and ligaments involved in supporting the wrist. You can visit our website kttape . com and we have a store locator which will help you find a store near you.
All the colors are exactly the same, the only reason they use different ones is because they want you to be able to see the different applications via contrast. As a user of KT tape it really works and stays on a long time!
RIP my arm hair
😂😂😂
Not weird. You can tape for any reason at any time. The tape works during sports, or just your day to day activities.
Absolutely. Before during and after.
Awesome. Thanks for the post!
This application should provide added support and stability for your wrist. If you have pain due to the writing give it a try ahead of time to minimize it.
No, this application should help for that as well. You can post your question on FB too and get advice from an expert.
That strip will assist in the lifting motion of the hand.
Yes. KT Tape can help for both of those problems.
No. We used 2 colors just to differentiate strip 1 from strip 2, etc.
Thank you! It's definitely helping my carpal tunnel, but not the other side of my hand,.
This can help add support and reduce pain to help you get over the injury, but the tape won't change the position in which you sleep :)
Absolutely. Try it out and let us know how it worked for you.
It's good tape when you have help, but nearly impossible to apply by yourself. how about some help with that ?
@Sophhhssss I'm a side base in cheerleading and when I tape it this way it totally works! I recommend it.
It is almost impossible to hurt yourself with the tape. As long as you aren't creating a tourniquet you won't hurt yourself and you can do it at home.
Seems like a lot of your techniques require a second person to apply the tape. That's kind of pointless if you train solo.
It depends on the injury. Have you had a doctor look at it? If there is a fracture involved it could take a while. If it's just a sprain, those can very depending on how bad they are. Have you tried using KT Tape? Give it a shot, it can often help the recovery process.
ahh ok I see. Yea, the previous method of having the tail ends run along the palmar aspect of the forearm is surprisingly difficult to apply. Thank you for the response!
Well this made my fingers tingly, great when you have a work injury.
Do you recommend this also for drummers? I play Drums nearly 40 years. And the last time my left wrist hurts at a concert after 1 hour.
Ralf yes!!
I'm a drummer myself and I have a ganglion cyst on my right wrist plus I fell a month ago and landed hand first and it REALLY hurt like hell. I've been using the tape and right away felt better and I can play with little or no pain. At night I take a electric warm pad and wrapp it around the wrist for a little bit. Just hang in there, heal and then keep on drumming. Good luck.
Finally, I bought the KT.. AWESOME
But, where can I find the girl?
It will provide support and stability for your wrist. Let us know how it goes!
It did help while I was playing, but the problem is when I start sweating the adhesive no longer sticks and it starts rolling up. I've bought a wrist band to hold it together though. Feels great!
taken me a few tries, KT videos seem the best. you might need help , get your limb in the correct position and then apply the tape, maybe someone else applies for you, and if u get the tape right, really helps. Seen my injuries heal much faster than without. I've tried lots of stuff, and train a lot.
Yes. Let us know how it goes!
Thaanks a lot. Lunatumnecrosis or better said Morbus Kienboeck Kienboecks desease isn t really a carpal tunnel syndrom. the symtoms are not the same. while the carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms are no really feelings and little hurts in the wrist and hand, kienboecks desease is really painfull. But these tapes are usually helpfull - I had them in case of shoulder, neck and back and yeah, I couldn t beleave it really helps. If it helps with the wristpain as well I can t say, because of these KT-Tapes aren t found that time. It s a really good advice and I m going tu put it into the playlist nearly Kienboecks Desease -> Ergänzungen zur Lunatummalazie
I notice that they give us some tips at the end... after we've already applied the tape.
You can't hurt yourself. If this application isn't giving you the relief you need, you can go to our "ask an expert" forum on our website and one of our pros will help you with a customized application.
Thanks for letting us know!
Jiu Jitsu made me come here
Me too, I have wrist pain in the bottoms?(pinky side) of my wrists, finger pain too but that’s another story😂, oh and lower back pain.
@@hughjair133 yes I have hip pain back pain and wrist issues 🤣
But I don’t let that stop me! I just graded at my club the other day :)
Kpopper 101 awesome! Keep it up!!!
@@hughjair133 ❤️
It works wonderfully!!!
In your case I would highly recommend that you go to our "ask an expert" forum on our website and one of our pros will help you with a customized application.
Thanks for your guide ☝️
Absolutely.
this seems like taken from a David Lynch movie. Awesome.
how does one apply these tapes solo? I tried and it was useless.
Woah I tried it and it is magic!
KT Tape really works. My first time using it. Also, she's not hard on the eyeballs.
What about if the pain is under/ inside the wrist not on top of the wrist?
Would this tape work with pain due to a TFCC Strain? If not, do you have a recommendation for a different type of taping?
Is that Mr.Incredible?
This should help. Let us know how it goes!
VERY HELPFUL!!! THANK YOU!!
I would start with this application. If this application doesn't give you the relief you need, you can go to our "ask an expert" forum on our website and one of our pros will help you with a customized application.
The adesive doesnt always work but thats tye same with any plasters...they dont always stay on.
However this physio practise helps me in my day to of rheumatoid arthritis esp in the summer when its worse and the wrist slints becone soggy from sweat...the tape lasts longer and provides great support.

I have pain in the outside part of my wrist.is there a different application that I need to use ?????
What are your tape lengths? Here in New Zealand, I can only get the uncut rolls and have to cut all lengths myself
No problem. :)
Would this taping help with a TFCC tear as well? I would like to know if there is a more specific way to tape for that specific area.
You needed to point out that the first piece you cut in half. "One piece" came out of your mouth while your hands were cutting it in half.
I have a question. How would this work for a cheerleader who tumbles for me it's the over extension part and I use a foam/spandex wrist brace that smells really bad after each use and falls off all the time. How would a super thin Strachey price of tape compare to a thick foam brace? My coaches are getting super annoyed because it falls off all the time (causing me to be unable to finish the routine and is a tripping hazard) and it's uncomfortable SMELLY and really hard to find a spot that supports but doesn't make my hand go cold and tingly.
I would DEFINITELY suggest trying KT, it’s helped me a lot and I used to have to wear one of those wrist braces.
I case you still need an answer to this or anyone else has the same question, the two items serve different purposes. A brace is often used for active stability, it can be used across dynamic movements and can also serve as a physical object for protection or otherwise. This tape on the other hand is more designed to be used as a passive repair aid, promoting faster healing and can sometimes even heal parts of the body that would not have been healed on its own. It IS NOT designed to give active support, but can be used as such for the purposes of pain reduction or nerve impingement.
Hello! I have very weak wrists, I broke both of them, and I mabye want to start gymnastics. Can i apply the tape as you showed in the video just for some general wrist support?
Do you still use this when you shower or take it off and put a new one one after? Same with washing your hands?
After you put the tape on?
Why is this "updated" wrist taping method better than the previous video. I notice this video encircles the wrist in tape. As long as there is tape encircling the wrist (regardless of 1 piece or 2) AND the tape has tension, it will function "as a tourniquet" per se, no?
As a PT, am concerned of ergonomics as well. It could have been ergonomically correct if you placed a footstool (or similar device) with which your subject can rest her R forearm on while you taped her. This way, both of you may set the example of proper body mechanics even when doing simple tasks at very short duration.
yeah.. because her arm would die within 5min.. lol
Yes. Visit our partners in Europe. Just google kttapeeurope. They'll take care of you!
How long do you recommend using the tape? I have mild discomfort with some fingertip numbness on my dominant hand, mostly likely from keyboarding.
I'm following the instructions here, having a hard time for the tape to stay on my wrist. I'm actually struggling to make the tape to stay!
This tape works better than the velcro wraps, and I do not need any assistance putting it on me.
I'm here for the blonde.
Hello, can you guide me, how often you should apply k-tap?
Or can we apply k-tape every week for best results?
Can this be used to prevent the "arm pump" hand fatigue that is caused by racing motocross (hanging onto the handlebars til the point where your hands can't move anymore) ??
Is this taping for hyperflexion?
And, if I have a hyperextended wrist, should I put the third strip on my anterior side instead of on my posterior side (in anatomical position)?
I hear that without a proffesional applying the tape for us it is easy make the injury more severe, is that true?
Would like you to show how to put stuff on your wrist by yourself
@Kaleo Naiga
That sounds like Tendovaginitis.
I've tried taping like this just now, but with the long strip on the outside. We will se if this helps..
If I have pain on the outside part of my right wrist would I follow this taping procedure or the wrist sprain procedure?
Are the different colors just to look nice or do i need to have 2 different colors
She looks like "Quiet" from Metal Gear 5 Phantom Pain...
lilasiandevil1314 I THOUGHT THE SAME THIING :O
Can this application help with basing in cheer leading? I am a secondary base which means I only get the weight on one hand, so it has a lot of wear and tear. Thanks.
I also have a question. I was thinking of buying some KT tape for my wrists and ankles but i notice you use different coloured tape, is there any reason for this? does different coloured tape do different things?
I don't know what that vine is on ur wrist that sucks out , but everytime I touch it , it hurts but isn't been causing random pains on my hand ? So I use this
Hello, where can i buy this tape?
Hello, would this application work for wrist pain on the pinkie side? Or is this application only good for wrist pain on the top of the hand? Thanks!
would this work for wrist support for a massage therapist? would the tape roll and just come off
Would you recommend this tape for a sprained wrist for a basketball player? It's actually my shooting hand and I want to ease the pain for a tournament coming up.
Will this support assist my recently pinned (now out of the ventura splint) scaphoid fracture?
Should I use this method if I'm coming back from a scaphoid injury?
I'd like to ask, about a week ago i got a wrist sprain due to soccer (hard ball to my left palm and it over bent my wrist palm facing forward and bruised my index finger) bruise and lump on the finger is gone but my wrist still hurts. so now i just got my tape and i wanna know if this is the method of taping i should do or is there a different taping method?
I am a swimmer and water polo player, and I tore my ACL in my wrist. Is there any way for me to affectively tape my wrist so I can still swim without pain?
