This type of injury occurs most frequently in contact sport. Instant pain as the arm is forced straight. Pain will be felt at the front of the elbow and some swelling may appear. The aim of this taping is to prevent hyperextension (over straightening or bending the wrong way) of the elbow. It will provide support for strained elbow ligaments.
It is used to support temporary pain relief in more acute patients. The goal is to rest the musculotendinous unit originating at the lateral epicondyle.
