Application: What, Why, and How (Stifle Support)
- What: Targets the stifle joint for stabilization, injury recovery, and muscle function support
- Why: Stifle injuries often result from underconditioned muscles; taping provides joint support and assists muscle function during healing
- How: Use EquiTecs 4-way stretch tape (2" and 3"), 25–50% stretch (50% only directly around joint). Single strip with long anchors for stability; double layer (2" + 3") for large joints. Replace every 5–7 days, cleaning skin between applications. Combine with circulation and muscle activation applications for faster conditioning. Full demo included in course
Unique Clinical Notes
- Most common stifle injuries: patellar ligament injuries, locking stifle (upward patellar fixation), ligament-related issues
- Full rehab requires muscle conditioning—focus on tensor fascia latae, biceps femoris, semitendinosus, semimembranosus
- Add circulation application alongside support taping to speed healing
- For more rigidity, add another tape layer rather than increasing stretch
- Always check for referred pain—evaluate hock, fetlock, back whenever stifle issues arise
- For ligament tears >30%, use biomechanics application + controlled rehab
