Effectiveness of Warm-Up Exercises with Tissue Flossing in Increasing Muscle Strength.

Tissue flossing is an increasingly popular method in physiotherapy and sports. There is a belief that tissue flossing can improve range of motion and muscle strength, shorten muscle recovery time, and reduce the risk of injury. The aim of this study was to analyse the effectiveness of tissue flossing for immediately improving muscle strength in recreational athletes when it is performed during warm-up.

Influence of force-time parameters of hip abductors on maintaining balance in frontal plane in young healthy females.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the impact of isometric and isokinetic hip abductor muscle strength on the quality of maintaining static balance in healthy subjects.

Methods: The study enrolled 51 healthy women aged 18-25. Balance assessment was carried out according to the M-CTSIB protocol and Single Leg Stance Test (with eyes open and closed) using the Biodex Balance System.

Effect of smooth eye tracking in different patterns on results of the modified Clinical Balance Sensory Integration Test in healthy young adults.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to determine whether eye tracking of a point moving in different directions influences balance test performance in young healthy subjects.

Methods: The study enrolled 45 healthy young adults aged 19-26. Balance assessment was carried out according to the modified Clinical Balance Sensory Integration Test protocol using the Biodex Balance System with an additional 63" screen to present the eye-tracking task.

Effect of hamstring tissue flossing during warm-up on sit and reach performance.

Background: Tissue flossing, also called voodoo flossing, is becoming a popular adjunct to athletic training to improve joint range of motion and muscle strength. The authors of this technique believe that tissue flossing can be used during warm-up. This study investigated the effect of tissue flossing during warm-up on the range of motion in the sit and reach test.

Assessment of the Effectiveness of Rehabilitation after Total Knee Replacement Surgery Using Sample Entropy and Classical Measures of Body Balance.

Exercises in virtual reality (VR) have recently become a popular form of rehabilitation and are reported to be more effective than a standard rehabilitation protocol alone. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of adjunct VR training in improving postural control in patients after total knee replacement surgery (TKR). Forty-two patients within 7-14 days of TKR were enrolled and divided into a VR group and a control group (C).

Effect of a Single Session of Facial Distortion Model Manual Physiotherapy and a Selected Foam Rolling Technique on Treatment Outcomes in Cervical Spine Overload. Pilot Study.

Background: The prevalence of neck pain is on the increase. A sedentary life style, poor ergonomics in the workplace and in daily life, and stress all contribute to neck overload. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of a single session of a Fascial Distortion Model (FDM) intervention combined with foam rolling in patients with cervical spine overload.
