A Tip From the FieldVariation ofthe LongitudinalArch StrappingKirn A. Bissonette, ATC and John S. Leard, ATCFor years Athletic Trainers have used the standard"figure 8" strapping for the longitudinal arch andassociated problems. We offer a modification of this strappingthat has proven effective in treating these cases. Thelongitudinal arch strap, as documented by Klafs andArnheim, uses the conventional, alternation strips fromthe first metatarsal head to the fifth metatarsal head.(Fig. 1.) We propose changing the strap so that all supportivestrips of tape be consistent with more of a medialThe authors are both Assistant Athletic Trainers at NortheasternUniversity, Boston, Massachusetts 02115.supportive concept. This strapping has proven effective intreating longitudinal arch problems, as well as plantarfascitis and shin splints.The strap is applied from the head of the fifth metatarsalin a circular fashion around the heel, with tension appliedto the medial aspect of the foot, adding support tothe origin of the plantar fascia. The strap is then anchoredto the medial aspect of the dorsum of the foot anterior tothe malleolus. (Fig. 2). Each subsequent strip is applied inthe same fashion forming a "fanning" effect both on theplantar aspect of the foot, as well as on the medial aspectof the supporting longitudinal arch. (Fig. 3). The strap isclosed with support strips going lateral to medial andfrom the calcaneous distally to the metatarsal heads. (Fig.4). The strapping can be further supported with circularstrips of any elastic product as to allow foot spreadingduring any weight bearing activity. (Fig. 5).We do not intend for this technique to replace thestandard longitudinal arch strapping, we simply offer analternative that has proven successful in treating a largepercentage of our foot and lower leg problems. +Editor's Note: Anyone wishing to have an idea,technique, etc. considered for this section should send onecopy to Ken Wolfert, 111 Buckeye Street, Hamilton,Ohio 45011.
