AI Overview
To ACE wrap a leg, start at the foot with a snug circular wrap, then use a figure-eight pattern going up the ankle and calf, overlapping each pass by about half, with gentle, even tension (around 50% stretch) to control swelling without cutting off circulation, checking for numbness or coldness and adjusting as needed, securing the end with Velcro or clips, ensuring the wrap extends above and below the injury site.
Step-by-Step Guide for Figure-Eight Leg Wrap
Position the Foot: Flex the foot at a 90-degree angle (like pressing a gas pedal).
Start at the Base: Begin wrapping at the ball of the foot, just below the toes, making two circular turns to secure the start.
Form the “8” (Ankle):
Move diagonally across the top of the foot, around the heel, and back up, forming a figure-eight around the ankle.
Overlap the previous layer by about half.
Move Up the Calf: Continue the figure-eight pattern, crisscrossing up the leg, alternating direction with each pass.
Apply Tension: Use gentle, even tension, stretching the bandage about 50% as you go, with the most tension at the extremities (foot) and less at the top (knee).
Extend Above Injury: Continue until you’re about an inch above the swollen or injured area (e.g., ankle or knee).
Secure the End: Finish with a circular wrap and secure the Velcro closure or clips, ensuring the hook/rough side isn’t against skin if possible.
Important Checks
Circulation: After wrapping, press on a toenail; it should turn pink quickly after pressure is released.
Signs of Too Tight: Check for tingling, numbness, coldness, or increased pain, which means it’s too tight and needs rewrapping.
