The Immediate Effects of Tissue Flossing on Knee Flexion Range of Motion

The Immediate Effects of Tissue Flossing on Knee Flexion Range of Motion: A Randomized Controlled Trial

The purpose of this study is to verify the immediate effects of Tissue Flossing on knee flexion range of motion

After completing the questionnaire, 58 healthy participants will be randomly divided into two groups named Intervention Group (IG) (n=29) and Control Group (CG) (n=29).

In the first assessment (M0), knee flexion ranges will be measured using a goniometer. Then the control group (n=29), without Tissue Flossing and intervention group (n=29) with Tissue Flossing around the knee joint will be subjected to passive and then active mobilization of the knee joint. Immediately after the intervention/control, the two groups will be assessed again (M1).

Inclusion Criteria:

• healthy people between 18 and 35 years old with normal mobility of the joints of the lower limbs of the body.

Exclusion Criteria:

• deformities in the region of the lower limbs of the body, complaints in this region in the last 6 months, surgical procedures, venous thrombotic disease, heart disease, respiratory disease, or neurological, orthopedic, dermatitis, or neuromuscular problems in the lower quadrant that may disrupt musculoskeletal function. Also high blood pressure, latex allergies, lymphedema and individuals taking anticoagulant medication, and cortisteroid therapy.
