through neural modular and proprioceptive processes this technique is to functionally correct and accelerate the contraction of the tibialis anterior muscle clinically this procedure is used to improve the speed and the quality of get during get training or re-education the proximal base is located over the origin of the tibialis anterior the distal base is located at the proximal end of the first toe a measuring point is located at the cuneiforms with the patient's leg fully extended reposition the ankle into maximal achievable dorsiflexion mark both base points you mark the measuring point you measure the tip from the measuring point to the proximal base point cut and prepare an ice trip to the appropriate length peel off the backing paper from the proximal end and apply the base as an anchor with absolutely no stretch peel off the remaining paper leaving only a tip at the end holding this and apply it between 50 and 75 percent stretch to the whole tip and attach the end of the tip to the distal base as an anchor at this point the tip should be suspended over the anterior tibial muscle length making sure not to make contact with the skin other than at the two base points while holding both base points swiftly reposition the patient's ankle into maximal achievable plantar flexion gently smooth the tip along the skin to ensure adhesion a very light touch must be applied so as to achieve maximal efficacy of this technique return the patient to neutral the patient should experience increased ease when actively dorsi flexing the ankle during it if the patient does not report improved function check the tip has been correctly applied or reconsider the chosen technique
