Brief Summary:
Limited ankle mobility can affect functional movement and balance, even in healthy individuals. Floss band application is a technique in which an elastic band is wrapped around a joint during active movement to potentially improve joint mobility and functional performance. Another approach combines floss band application with mobilization with movement (MWF), which integrates joint mobilization techniques during movement.
This study examined the effects of floss band application on ankle range of motion (ROM), functional ROM, and static and dynamic balance in fifty healthy adults. Participants were randomly assigned to either a floss band group or a mobilization with movement floss band (MWF) group. Measurements were taken before and after the intervention.
Detailed Description:
This study aimed to investigate the effects of floss band application on ankle joint range of motion (ROM), functional ROM, and static and dynamic balance ability in fifty healthy subjects. A pre-post experimental design was used.
Participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups: a floss band group or a mobilization with movement floss band (MWF) group. The floss band group received elastic band compression applied around the ankle joint during movement. The MWF group received floss band application combined with mobilization with movement techniques targeting the ankle joint.
Outcome measures included dorsiflexion (DF), weight-bearing lunge test (WBLT) performance, and assessments of static and dynamic balance. All measurements were conducted before and immediately after the intervention.
