Acute Effects of Upper Arm Tissue Flossing on Upper Extremity Performance and Power
This randomized sham-controlled trial investigates the acute effects of upper arm tissue flossing on upper extremity performance and power in healthy adults. Tissue flossing is a compression-based intervention that involves wrapping an elastic band around a limb for a short period while performing movement exercises.
Twenty-eight healthy participants are randomly assigned to either an active tissue flossing group or a sham flossing group. The intervention is applied to the dominant upper arm. Upper extremity performance is assessed before the intervention and at 2 and 15 minutes after the intervention using the Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test (CKCUEST) and the Seated Medicine Ball Throw (SMBT).
The study aims to determine whether a single session of upper arm tissue flossing can produce immediate improvements in upper extremity stability, functional performance, and explosive power compared with a sham intervention
