Tissue flossing involves wrapping a rubber band around a muscle group for a few minutes while performing joint motion, enhancing ankle joint torque and range of motion. As limited ankle dorsiflexion range of motion and plantar flexion muscle weakness are risk factors for sports injury, assessing the therapeutic effects of tissue flossing is important. This study aimed to evaluate the immediate effects of calf tissue flossing on enhancing ankle joint torque and dorsiflexion range of motion.

- The study developed a Japanese version of the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopedic Clinic (KJOC) questionnaire, named the J-KJOC, to assess shoulder and elbow function in Japanese university baseball players.
- The J-KJOC showed strong reliability and validity, indicated by high Cronbach's alpha (0.88) and intraclass correlation coefficient (0.91) scores.
- Results suggest the J-KJOC is effective for this population, but more research is needed to explore its use in other overhead athletes for broader sports medicine applications.
