Effects of Mobilization With Movement Floss Band (MWF) Application

This study aimed to investigate the effects of floss band application on ankle joint range of motion (ROM), functional ROM, and static and dynamic balance ability in fifty healthy subjects. A pre-post experimental design was used. Participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups: a floss band group or a mobilization with movement floss band (MWF) group. The floss band group received elastic band compression applied around the ankle joint during movement. The MWF group received floss band application combined with mobilization with movement techniques targeting the ankle joint. Outcome measures included dorsiflexion (DF), weight-bearing lunge test (WBLT) performance, and assessments of static and dynamic balance. All measurements were conducted before and immediately after the intervention.
