Dynamic Biomechanical Tape

How to Use Dynamic Biomechanical Tape?

• When the foot is placed on the ground, the resistance of the tape must be overcome for the foot to lengthen or for the arch to drop. The tape, therefore acts to decelerate these movements and reduce the magnitude. Both of these factors are important in conditions such as Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (MTSS). It will also absorb some of the load that would otherwise be placed wholly upon the plantar fascia and musculotendinous units
• The foot can still move through the range and this is important as it can dissipate load further by moving at multiple motion segments and can also accommodate to the ground surface. Locking up trade; not only reduces the dissipation of load at that segment and can result in compensation strategies, it can also reduce the ankle strategy trade required for the maintenance of balance
• The correction need not be as strong as shown to be effective. This technique has been shown to increase navicular height and reduce foot length in weight bearing and non- weight bearing over and above that seen with a passive trade; taping technique. Significant change was still present after three days (including 26 km of running) and a further twenty-four hours after removal of the tape.
