I need a website to show how to do the taping for the winging. The therapists want to start doing it for my daughter, but I wanted to know if anyone had a child that had super sensitive skin and what they did to prevent it from breaking out with the taping. I think someone used milk of magnesia on the skin first. Let me know. Thanks,
taping for scapula

milk of magnesia
if you find out about this can you let me know.... we tape our electrodes for Maia's e-stim at night and her skin hates it....

Re: taping for scapula
there are several kids in our egroup that are doing the taping, I am looking at it(getting the therapist to look at it) myself for ZekeMax, I hope you will post for us your childs presenting characteristics and then tell us how you are taping and how you think its helping?
okok- I ask alot but I love to hear the many different ways that Ive heard about taping, I dont think there is just one particular right way, ofcourse depending on your child,your therapist,etc etc some are prolly better than others Im investigating too-
I will watch hopefully for more taping posts from you as to how its going
ps no sensitive skin in our group that I remember but Ill ask-

Re: taping for scapula
My son's PT is taping his scapula for winging, and also his shoulder because he tends to hold it in an elevated postion. I was wondering what kind of tape your therapists use. We tried the kinesiotape with Josh , but it didn't seem to do much. We now use a white tape (Biedersdorf sp?) which seems to be more effective at keeping things in position.
Also has anyone used taping for wrist drop (lack of wrist extension)?
