Taping, Wrapping, and Bracing for Athletic Trainers: Functional Methods for Application and Fabrication

Written by renowned author Andy Grubbs, this comprehensive guide is designed to provide athletic trainers, coaches, and allied health care practitioners with a collection of the most effective and functional taping, wrapping, and bracing techniques for orthopedic injuries.

In contrast to other texts that often overwhelm readers with numerous methods, Taping, Wrapping, and Bracing for Athletic Trainers focuses on the most practical and efficient techniques that actually work in clinical settings. Each application is carefully explained with step-by-step instructions, ensuring that readers gain comprehensive knowledge and practical skills to understand, reproduce, and master the techniques.

The book’s unique approach is centered around providing readers with multiple methods for a given area or injury, allowing them to choose the best approach for their specific needs. Furthermore, the author has carefully selected the most functional and useful methods, adding another dimension to each clinician’s “bag of tricks.”

One of the key strengths of this guide is its emphasis on proper application and fabrication techniques. By following the expert guidance provided, readers can ensure that each taping, wrapping, or bracing method is performed correctly, maximizing its effectiveness in treating orthopedic injuries.

In addition to the detailed instructions, the book also provides material recommendations for each technique. However, it’s essential to note that many taping techniques can be performed using a variety of taping materials, offering readers the flexibility to adapt to their specific needs and preferences.

With its focus on functional methods, practical instructions, and expert guidance, Taping, Wrapping, and Bracing for Athletic Trainers is an indispensable resource for anyone looking to enhance their skills and provide optimal care for their patients.
