Acute effects of tissue flossing on boxers with chronic knee pain

ObjectivesTo explore the acute intervention effects of tissue flossing on chronic knee pain (CKP) in boxers.MethodsEighteen boxers with CKP (12 male/6 female) were randomly divided into an experimental group (EG) with tissue flossing (n = 9) and a control group (CG) (n = 9). The visual analog scale...

description ObjectivesTo explore the acute intervention effects of tissue flossing on chronic knee pain (CKP) in boxers.MethodsEighteen boxers with CKP (12 male/6 female) were randomly divided into an experimental group (EG) with tissue flossing (n = 9) and a control group (CG) (n = 9). The visual analog scale (VAS), Lysholm knee function score, flexion range of motion (ROM), maximal isometric extensor muscle strength, and stability of the knee were measured pre- and post-intervention (EG: 3-minute tissue flossing, CG: rest).ResultsVAS (F = 15.849, p = 0.001, η2p = 0.498) and Lysholm knee function (F = 9.327, p = 0.008, η2p = 0.357) significantly improved more in the EG than in the CG. There was a significant difference for maximal isometric extensor muscle strength (F = 17.769, p = 0.001, η2p = 0.542) and knee stability (F = 13.844, p = 0.002, η2p = 0.464) but no significant difference for ROM (F = 1.218, p = 0.287, η2p = 0.075) between the EG and CG.ConclusionTissue flossing can reduce knee pain, improve knee function, increase knee extensor strength, and improve knee stability in boxers with CKP.
