Interventions

1) The first strip of tape is applied with no tension around the forefoot just proximal to the metatarsal heads
this strip acts as an anchor for subsequent pieces. 2) A second strip of tape is applied from just proximal to the lateral aspect of the fifth metatarsal head and runs proximally around the posterior
with each strip overlapping the more distal piece by half the width of the tape. The last piece is applied just distal to the ankle joint. Tension is placed on these pieces as they are pulled onto the
the metatarsal can be plantarflexed or the hallux can be dorsiflexed while applying these strips.,In the long sitting position&#44

and greater toe flexion. Cut out a small wedge to allow the tape conform well to the proximal phalanx of the big toe as it passes this region. Ensure that the toe is flexed and the medial longitudinal
plantar aspect of the foot then track slightly more proximally onto the medial aspect of the calcaneum. Sweep around the calcaneum and cross the lateral aspect obliquely. Sweep under the foot from jus
