The premier text for athletic taping and bracing is back in an expanded fifth edition. Athletic Taping, Bracing, and Casting, Fifth Edition With HKPropel Access, continues to set itself apart from the pack with superior photos and illustrations, precise step-by-step instructions, and pinpoint focus on the evidence-based techniques that athletic trainers and therapists are most likely to apply in clinical practice.

Related online learning tools delivered via HKPropel provide access to 57 videos of experts (10 new to this edition) performing each technique to support the mastery of skill application and 67 accompanying comprehension checklists to help readers ensure they are properly executing each step of the process.
The fifth edition has been updated with the latest research and references so clinicians can make decisions supported by evidence. The text follows a systematic approach for each major joint and body region, covering traditional taping as well as rigid strap taping, elastic kinesiology taping, and techniques for immobilization with casting and splinting.
With its concise anatomical descriptions and detailed anatomical illustrations similar to those normally found in advanced texts on anatomy, Athletic Taping, Bracing, and Casting highlights the mechanisms of injury that are crucial for understanding effective and evidence-based strategies. To further support the practice, the book also presents basic stretching and strengthening exercises for injury rehabilitation. These exercises are illustrated for each body part and can be used in conjunction with the taping, bracing, and casting techniques to prevent injury and help rehabilitated patients maintain strength and flexibility and safely return to play.
The clear instructional guidance and robust visual support offered in Athletic Taping, Bracing, and Casting, Fifth Edition, will allow both future and current health care professionals to build proficiency-and then mastery-of the performance of these techniques.
