Trapezius Taping
Origin
Descending: superior nuchal line, external occipital protuberance,
ligamentum nuchae
Transverse: C7–T3
Ascending: T2/3-T12
Insertion
Descending: lateral third of clavicle
Transverse: end of clavicle, acromion, spine of the
scapula
Ascending: trigonum spinae
Function
Positioning the pectoral girdle; it actively pulls the
scapula and clavicle towards the spine. The upper fibers lift and turn the
scapula outwards; the lower fibers lower and turn the scapula inwards.
Innervation
Accessory nerve
Application
This example illustrates a
tonus-decreasing muscle application to the descending fibers of the trapezius
muscle. The tape is measured from the middle of the acromion to the hairline on
the nape of the neck. The descending part of the trapezius
muscle is in the elongated position, i.e. the
cervical vertebrae (CV) are tilted towards the opposite side, flexion
and rotation to the same side.
The base is affixed to the insertion site of the acromion in the
resting state (. Fig. 3.1b)
The muscle is elongated and the base anchored with skin
displacement, then the tape is affixed with 10% tension over the belly of the
muscle to the point of origin at the hairline on the nape of the neck (. Fig. 3.1c) The tape is
rubbed in the elongated muscle position. . Fig. 3.1d shows the completed muscle tonus-decreasing application
for the descending fibers of the trapezius
muscle. . Fig. 3.1e shows the completed tonus-decreasing muscle application
for the transverse fibers of the trapezius muscle using a Y-technique. The base
lies over the acromion. . Fig. 3.1f shows the completed tonus-increasing muscle application
for the ascending fibers of the trapezius muscle. The base lies over the 12th
thoracic vertebral body.
