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.
