PY - 2021 T2 - Orthopedic Taping, Wrapping, Bracing, & Padding, 4e AB - The fourth edition of Orthopedic Taping, Wrapping, Bracing, & Padding continues the comprehensive presentation of taping, wrapping, bracing, and padding techniques. As the educational content of programs and profession of athletic training continue to evolve, updates and revisions were made throughout the text to provide the reader, instructor, and clinician a framework for clinical decision-making in the prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of injuries and conditions. New clinically relevant research from the literature focusing on taping, wrapping, bracing, and padding techniques was incorporated into evidence summary boxes to provide the best available evidence for technique efficacy. New brace designs and steps of application replaced old techniques to reflect current clinical practice. Revisions to NCAA and NFHS mandatory protective equipment and standards and testing procedures highlight changes made among agencies and organizations to enhance protection for wearers from injury. Updated web references and further reading sections provide additional resources for the reader, instructor, and clinician. SN - PB - F. A.
