Effects of Mobilization With Movement Floss Band (MWF) Application

Limited ankle mobility can affect functional movement and balance, even in healthy individuals. Floss band application is a technique in which an elastic band is wrapped around a joint during active movement to potentially improve joint mobility and functional performance. Another approach combines floss band application with mobilization with movement (MWF), which integrates joint mobilization techniques during movement. This study examined the effects of floss band application on ankle range of motion (ROM), functional ROM, and static and dynamic balance in fifty healthy adults. Participants were randomly assigned to either a floss band group or a mobilization with movement floss band (MWF) group. Measurements were taken before and after the intervention.
