PURPOSE: Stabilise finger joints.
TAPING: Two tape strips are placed as anchors, one on each side of the affected joint on the finger bones. Similarly, tape strips are placed on the neighbouring finger. The two fingers are then taped together with tape strips on top of the anchors. This way, the healthy finger stabilises the injured finger and they can both continue to bend and stretch.
