Summary

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

Detailed description

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).

Conditions

• Healthy

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Tissue flossing	While the participant will stand and perform a slight knee flexion, the band will be rolled upwards from the tibial tuberosity to 5 cm above the femoral epicondyle. The patella will not be covered. Pressure will be produced by rolling the joint with 50% tension and 50% overlap.
