Deltoid Taping
Origin
Anterior fibers: lateral third of clavicle
Middle fibers: acromion
Posterior fibers: lower lip of the spine of the
scapula
Insertion
Deltoid tuberosity of humerus
Function
Abduction, adduction, anteversion and
retroversion of the shoulder joint
Innervation
Axillary nerve
Application
This example
illustrates a tonus-decreasing application to the deltoid muscle. The tape is
measured from the middle of the acromion to 3-4 finger widths below the deltoid
tuberosity. The addition of the 3-4 finger widths of tape means that
measurement in the elongated position is unnecessary The base is affixed in the
resting position at the point of insertion below the deltoid tuberosity so that
the bifurcation point of the Y-tape lies on the deltoid tuberosity and the individual
tail strips can thus be fixed more easily along the muscle margin (Fig. 3.3b).
The muscle is elongated
and the base anchored with skin displacement. For the posterior fibers of the
deltoid muscle, the arm is placed in the flexed position. Affix the tape with
10%stretch along the muscle margin to the point of origin at the spine of the
scapula (Fig. 3.3c)
For the anterior fibers
of the deltoid muscle, the arm is placed in the extended position and the tape
affixed with 10% stretch along the muscle margin to the point of origin at the
clavicle (. Fig. 3.3d). The tape is rubbed in the elongated muscle position. . Fig. 3.3e shows the completed
muscle application for the deltoid muscle.
