简要总结
The purpose of this study is to verify the immediate effects of Tissue Flossing on knee flexion range of motion
详细描述
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).

结局指标
主要结局
Change of knee range of motion
时间窗: [Time Frame: Change from Baseline (M0) to Immediately after intervention or control (M1)]
Data will be collected in two moments: baseline (M0) and after the intervention/control (M1). The knee flexion range of motion will be measured using a smartphone app "Goniometer Pro". The distance between the lateral femoral epicondyle and the center of the lateral malleolus will be assessed. To measure the knee flexion angle, the participant will be placed in the prone position with the hip and knee extended at 0° (goniometer initial position 0°) with the foot relaxed and the contralateral leg extended. For active range of motion, the participant will be asked to perform maximum knee flexion in the prone position. To measure passive movement, the examiner will perform maximum knee flexion on participants in the same position. The average of three repetitions of ranges of movement will be recorded with 30-second rest intervals.
