Hi Charlie
The taping we used was based on that described by Dr. Ralph Dye. The method
we used was as follows
i. Low-Dye Taping
Placing the patient in a supine position, anchor straps were applied with
2.5 centimetre rigid sports tape. The first strap covered the plantar area
of the metatarsal heads, progressing just on to the dorsal surface of the
foot . The second strap began from the lateral side of fifth metatarsal and
progressed around the heel and around the foot on to the medial side of the
first metatarsal head. Both of these straps were applied firmly.
The support straps were then applied to the plantar area of the foot with
five centimetre straps. The first support strap started at the superior
edge of the long anchor strap and a point that it approximately bisected a
line from the lateral malleolus, and then travelled plantarly around the
foot at a point which approximately bisected a line from the medial
malleolus. Further straps were applied at approximately one centimetre
intervals on the plantar surface, with the second strap in this series
progressing over to the dorsum of the foot just distal to the insertion of
the tibialis anterior tendon and circumducting the foot. All other straps
were only applied to the margins of the initial support tape. Locking
straps were then applied over the support tape that followed the same
progression as the initial support tape. Once again, 2.5 centimetre taping
was used.
ii. High-Dye Taping
The high-Dye taping technique was identical in every aspect to the low-Dye
method, with the exception of the anchor tape on a point on the lower leg
estimating the lower third of the leg and an extension of the first support
straps. The first support strap continued up over the medial and lateral
ankle and extended to the leg ankle strap, approximately 12 centimetres
above the ankle. A lock strap was then applied around the leg firmly, but
ensuring that it was not uncomfortable for the participant.
I can send you photos if you wish.
Hope this helps

What do you mean by high-dye and low dye taping?
Thanks
