Summary

There is no study in the literature investigating the effects of ankle stimulation with the flossband soft tissue technique on balance and proprioception. The impact of flossband use on flexibility and static and dynamic balance in the lower extremities requires further research. It is likely that flossband, which has been found to enhance sports performance, also affects balance, proprioception, and performance. More research is needed to evaluate the benefits of flossband use on body movements and motor control. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of flossband on balance, proprioception, and performance, given its known impact on sports performance.

Conditions

  • Ankle Instability

Interventions

OTHER

Flossband

The use of Flossband (Sanctband COMPRE Floss 5.1 cm × 3.5 m; Sanct Japan Co., Ltd.), made of natural rubber, was applied starting from 5 cm below the ankle joint line with a 50% stretch. The band tension was increased to 70-75% around 2 cm above the attachment point of the Achilles tendon.

OTHER

Controlled Group

Cramer Tape Underwrap (7cm X 27m) foam bandage was applied starting 5 cm below the ankle joint line without tension. The control group received the same exercise protocol as the study group.
