Summary

The purpose of this research is to determine the effect of tissue flossing technique on post-traumatic elbow stiffness, Pain and ROM. A randomized control trial was conducted at Pakistan ordinance factory (POF) Hospital Wah Cantt, Pakistan. The sample size was 36 calculated from G-power. 6 participants were excluded from the study and remaining 30 participants were divided into two groups, each having 15 participants. The study duration was six months. Sampling technique was applied was Non probability Convenience Sampling technique for recruitment and group randomization using random selection of participants. Both post-traumatic and post-operative male and female participants of aged 18-45 years with flexion \<120° and loss of extension \>30°. Tools used in this study are Liverpool elbow Score Questionnaire (LES), Goniometer and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Data was analyzed through SPSS version 23.

Tisue Flossing Technique

Experimental Group (Tissue Flossing + conventional therapy) Tissue Flossing involved active and passive movement with elbow wrapped with a floss band made from latex rubber (7m x 2 inch) Floss band was wrapped around the elbow (distal to proximal) using 25% overlapping pattern with an elongation stretch of 25%. During treatment the compression of floss band was measured with modified sphygmomanometer by placing cuff under floss band (which is applied on muscle) and note the pressure on manometer. Control Group (Conventional Therapy) Conventional therapy was applied for 23 minutes for both groups which include hot pack for 10 minutes, PNF (hold-relax with agonist contraction): It started with a gentle stretch of bicep muscle for 10 seconds followed by isometric contraction for 6 seconds then the patient tried to flex their elbow and the therapist also assisted.
