Acromioclavicular (AC) joint taping

Patients with a mild AC joint injury or recovering from such an injury may benefit from added support while resuming activity. The wrap described here may be used:
(A) Place the first anchor at the mid-biceps; place the second anchor below the spine of the scapula over the shoulder through the mid-clavicular line; place the third anchor under the nipple horizontally around the trunk, connecting the two ends of the second anchor.
(B) Place tape strips in an X pattern, moving from the biceps, anchoring up and over the acromion process.
(C) Repeat the pattern until the acromion process is covered.
(D) Reinforce with elastic bandage wrapped as a shoulder spica.
