Guest guest Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 Cindy - There are a few different types, depending on what you want the tape to do. As Liza mentioned, Kinesiotape is one of them (that's what I was wearing on my knee at the conference, you remember, the bright turquoise tape.) and I, personally, absolutely LOVE Kinesiotape!!!!! Kinesiotape does not restrict the " normal " movement of the joint. If you want to restrict the movement, there are several kinds, most of which I don't know the names. When I go to PT for my knee (current problem is subluxing patella), the first thing they do for me, is use McConnell Tape to tape my kneecap in a stable position so it won't move laterally. BUT, McConnell tape is really hard on the skin, and they have to use some sort of white cloth-like tape (from 3M, don't know what it is called) as a laywer between my skin and the MCConnell tape. I can't tolerate the McConnell tape for more than a couple hours, at the most. Like I said, there are other kinds too, but I don't have experience with them and the type you want will depend on exactly what you are hoping for it to do. > Any one know what the name of the tape is that you tape joints with to have them stay in place?
