Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study is to examine and compare the effects of tissue flossing
compared to massage and stretching on the lower extremity function condition –
range of motion ROM of the, and muscle strength and pain perception in the knee.
Materials and methods: This study involved 16 patients that were divided in two
groups, Group A – controlled (n=8) (male=5, female=3) mean age 36±4.2 years
and Group B – experimental (n=8), (male=4, female=4) mean age 38±3,8 years. All
patients were with impaired knee function, involving to a different degree: pain, limited
range of motion and decreased muscle strength. The controlled group received a
treatment of massage and stretching and the experimental group a tissue flossing
therapy. Before and after the treatment we measured the levels of pain, ROM and
muscle strength.
Results: the therapy modalities for both groups showed positive impact on the
patient’s condition with slightly better results in the experimental group. Statistical
significance was marked in the measurement of VAS, ROM flexion and dynamometry
testing.
Conclusion: Tissue flossing has a positive influence on decreasing of pain and
normalization of range of motion and enhancing muscle strength and control, we
recommend its use as a main or additional treatment modality
