Join us for a focused, 30-minute webinar designed for athletic training educators who teach taping and splinting skills. This session highlights two ATu apps that provide clear, accessible resources for taping and splinting instruction:
- Evidence-Based Taping app – Teach taping using the first research-supported app, featuring easy-to-follow videos—including interactive 360-degree views—along with materials lists and taping methods organized by body region.
- Splinting app – Help students learn splinting and orthotic fabrication techniques for the upper extremity with step-by-step video demonstrations, printable patterns, and patient education materials.
Whether you’re introducing these skills for the first time or reinforcing previously learned skills, you’ll gain practical ideas to support student learning in the classroom, lab, and clinic.
