About this study
Official title: Comparison of the Effects of Floss Taping and Mulligan Mobilization on Ankle Joint Movement, Vertical Jump, Gait and Balance in Healthy Young Adults
This study will investigate the effects of Floss band application and Mulligan mobilization on ankle range of motion, vertical jump, gait and balance in active healthy young adults.
Read the detailed description
The effects of floss band application and mulligan mobilization on ankle range of motion, vertical jump, gait, and balance in active healthy young adults are unclear or limited due to a lack of studies. There are also no other studies comparing the two interventions in healthy young adults. Therefore, this study will investigate the effects of Floss band application and Mulligan mobilization on ankle range of motion, vertical jump, gait, and balance in active healthy young adults.
- Conditions
- Health, Subjective
- Being tested
- Floss Band, Mulligan Mobilization, Control
- Keywords
- ankle motion, gait, vertical jump, balance
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Floss BandOther
A floss band will be applied to the ankle joint and the participant will practice various weight-bearing active ankle motions simultaneously.
Mulligan MobilizationOther
Mulligan mobilization will be applied to the ankle joint and the participant will practice various weight-bearing active ankle motions simultaneously.
ControlOther
Participants will practice various weight-bearing active ankle motions simultaneously.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Floss Band | Experimental | A floss band will be applied to the ankle joint and the participant will practice various weight-bearing active ankle motions simultaneously. Receives: Other: Floss Band; Other: Mulligan Mobilization; Other: Control |
| Mulligan mobilization | Experimental | Mulligan mobilization will be applied to the ankle joint and the participant will practice various weight-bearing active ankle motions simultaneously. Receives: Other: Floss Band; Other: Mulligan Mobilization; Other: Control |
| Control | Other | Participants will practice various weight-bearing active ankle motions. Receives: Other: Floss Band; Other: Mulligan Mobilization; Other: Control |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Passive ankle joint range of motion
Passive ankle range of motion will be evaluated by taking photographs. Measurements will be made with Image-J program on the photograph.
Measured: The assessment will be conducted before and immediately after the interventions.

Contact EMEL TAŞVURAN HORATA, PhD (05547759663, ethorata@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Passive ankle joint range of motion (time frame: The assessment will be conducted before and immediately after the interventions.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06392880, which also lists 1 linked publication.
