I’m not quite sure if other indications presented, such as pronation would merit this taping method you’re showing. If there is an OLD tear in the Peroneal tendon, (50years or so) plus much pronation from lax ligament issues, would this help as well? Or primarily for stabilizing supination? If a tear is noted on MRI, but not causing issues, as there are other causes of pain (Bunion), would it be ok to not repair an old healed tear? Or could doing so, tighten up the tendon. Could you show taping method for Pronation, please? Much thanks!
Sheila, thanks for your comment. Yes, you would not use if pronation was the cause of the lateral ankle pain. For an old peroneal tendon injury, with pronation, you can just not evert the foot when applying. You would be attempting to support the peroneal tendon, but also not put a pronatory force on the subtalar joint. You may want the version of this goes up both the medial and lateral sides equally. Definitely, I find many old tears that look bad on MRI, but function well and are very strong. Why would you fix that? Just keep the patient strong by some peroneal strengthening maintenance program. Look at the video under taping for the posterior tibial tendon. Thanks again for your comment. Rich
