Abstract
Introduction. Ankle range of motion (ROM) is very important during walking, going upstairs, running or jumping. Decreased ankle ROM can lead to harmful biomechanical problems [1]. In sports physiotherapy there are more and more specialists who use tissue flossing method for ankle ROM and sports performance [2]. In this study we investigated tissue flossing method on ankle ROM and dynamic balance. Research aim: to evaluate instant effects of tissue flossing on ankle range of motion and dynamic balance in handball players. Research methods and organization. Four Lithuanian A division handball teams agreed to participate in the study. The selection criteria were met by 26 athletes – 14 females (mean age 21,64 ± 4,24) and 12 males (mean age 25,08 ± 4,32). One leg of the same person was in tissue flossing group (TFG) and other leg was in control group (CG). In research form it was already indicated which leg will be in TFG or CG. Tissue flossing band was applied on calf, 10 cm above calcaneus with 50% of stretch and each layer of band overlapped the previous layer by about 50%. In sitting position, participants were asked to perform 25 maximum plantarflexion and dorsiflexion movements of both ankles (approximately 2 min.). Measurements of ankle ROM and dynamic balance were performed before and after intervention. Goniometer was used to measure amplitude of active ankle dorsiflexion and plantar flexion in open kinetic chain (OKC). Inclinometer („Clinometer“ mobile app) was used to measure amplitude of active dorsiflexion in closed kinetic chain (CKC). Y balance test was used to evaluate dynamic balance. For comparison of two independent samples Student T test was used and if assumption of normality was violated - non-parametric Mann-Whitney test took place. For comparison of two dependent samples Paired Student T test was used and if assumption of normality was violated - non-parametric Wilcoxon test was used[...].
