Sports Medicine: Strapping, wrapping, taping and bracing.

  • Russel Kirkby King Faisal Hospital

Abstract

Watching a rugby game is interesting. Not only is there a plethora of protective gear worn by the players, but also the number of players who have some part of their anatomy strapped or wrapped in some type of bandage or support is remarkable. There are probably fewer players on the field without some supportive or protective strapping than those who do manifest some form of protective strapping.
