The document provides instructions for applying tape to the gluteus maximus muscle in 12 steps: identify the muscle, measure its length with tape, cut the tape to length and double it up, place the first piece of tape over the muscle from the greater trochanter to the gluteal surface of the ilium, then apply a second piece of tape at an angle to form a V-shape over the muscle. The process ensures the gluteus maximus is securely taped for treatment or examination.

2. Identify the gluteus maximus muscle

3. Measure the length of the muscle with tape

4. Cut the tape to length

5. Measure another length of tape at a curve

6. Cut the tape to length

7. Double up the tape, join the two ends together
and round the edges

8. Place tape over the muscle to re-check length

9. Tear one end of the tape’s paper backing

10. Anchor one end of tape over the greater
trochanter

11. Gently peel off the paper backing and stretch
tape over the length of muscle

12. Place the tape firmly over the area, ending at
the gluteal surface of the ilium

13. Tear through and remove the paper backing
from the other length of prepared tape

14. Anchor one end at the base of the greater
trochanter (same as previous)

15. Stretch the tape over the muscle at an angle,
forming a V-shape with the tape already in place

16. Stretch the tape along the curve of the gluteus
maximus and press down firmly

17. Taped gluteus maximus
