German term or phrase: Funktionsverbände
In a physiotherapy curriculum. Is that simply 'taping' or is there a more overarching term?

Thanks.

functional tapes


Explanation:
of course - depending on what is expected from these tapes - the author might refer to kinetic tapes as well (if the tapes are to improve movability), yet functional tapes would do in the present case, being a more general term, though on the other hand, Tesa tapes are also called functional tapes (they have nothing to do with physiology though).
