Context:A dynamic-balance-training (DBT) program supplemented with the Graston instrument-assisted soft-tissue mobilization (GISTM) technique has not been evaluated collectively as a treatment in subjects with chronic ankle instability (CAI).Objective:To examine the effects of GISTM in conjunction with a DBT program on outcomes associated with CAI, including pain and disability, range of motion (ROM), and dynamic postural control.Design:Pretest/posttest, repeated measures.Setting:High school and a Division I mid-Atlantic university.Participants:Thirty-six healthy, physically active individuals (5 female, 31 male; age 17.7 ± 1.9 y; height 175.3 ± 14.6 cm) with a history of CAI as determined by an ankle-instability questionnaire volunteered to be in this study.Interventions:Subjects were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 intervention groups: both treatments (DBT/GISTM, n = 13), DBT and a sham GISTM treatment (DBT/GISTM-S, n = 12), or DBT and control—no GISTM (DBT/C, n = 11). All groups participated in a 4-wk DBT program consisting of low-impact and dynamic activities that was progressed from week to week. The DBT/GISTM and DBT/GISTM-S groups received the GISTM treatment or sham treatment twice a week for 8 min before performing the DBT program. Pretest and posttest measurements included the Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM), FAAM Sport, the visual analog scale (VAS), ankle ROM in 4 directions, and the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) in 3 directions.Main Outcome Measures:FAAM and FAAM-Sport scores, VAS, goniometric ROM (plantar flexion, dorsiflexion, inversion, eversion), and SEBT (anterior, posteromedial, posterolateral).Results:Subjects in all groups posttest demonstrated an increase in FAAM, FAAM Sport, ROM, and SEBT in all directions but not in VAS, which decreased. No other results were significant.Conclusion:For subjects with CAI, dynamic postural control, ROM, pain and disability improved pretest to posttest regardless of group membership, with the largest effects found in most measures in the DBT/GISTM group.

Context:Talocrural joint mobilizations are commonly used to address deficits associated with chronic ankle instability (CAI).Objective:Examine the immediate effects of talocrural joint traction in those with CAI.Design:Blinded, crossover.Setting:Laboratory.Participants:Twenty adults (14 females; age = 23.80 ± 4.02 y; height = 169.55 ± 12.38 cm; weight = 78.34 ± 16.32 kg) with self-reported CAI participated. Inclusion criteria consisted of a history of ≥1 ankle sprain, ≥2 episodes of giving way in the previous 3 mo, answering “yes” to ≥4 questions on the Ankle Instability Instrument, and ≤24 on the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool.Intervention:Subjects participated in 3 sessions in which they received a single treatment session of sustained traction (ST), oscillatory traction (OT), or a sham condition in a randomized order. Interventions consisted of four 30-s sets of traction with 1 min of rest between sets. During ST and OT, the talus was distracted distally from the ankle mortise to the end-range of accessory motion. ST consisted of continuous distraction and OT involved 1-s oscillations between the mid and end-range of accessory motion. The sham condition consisted of physical contact without force application. Preintervention and postintervention measurements of weight-bearing dorsiflexion, dynamic balance, and static single-limb balance were collected.Main Outcome Measures:The independent variable was treatment (ST, OT, sham). The dependent variables included pre-to-posttreatment change scores for the WBLT (cm), normalized SEBTAR (%), and time-to-boundary (TTB) variables(s). Separate 1-way ANOVAs examined differences between treatments for each dependent variable. Alpha was set a priori at P < .05.Results:No significant treatment effects were identified for any variables.Conclusion:A single intervention of ST or OT did not produce significant changes in weight-bearing dorsiflexion range of motion or postural control in individuals with CAI. Future research should investigate the effects of repeated talocrural traction treatments and the effects of this technique when combined with other manual therapies.

Latar Belakang:  Instrumen Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) merupakan prosedur terapi yang mana menggunakan instrumen untuk secara mekanik menstimulus struktur jaringan lunak untuk mengurangi nyeri otot, ketidaknyamanan, dan meningkatkan secara keseluruhan mobilitas dan fungsi Self Myofascial Release (SMFR) merupakan salah satu teknik manual terapi dengan cara memberikan tekanan pada otot dan fascia yang bertujuan untuk menambah Range of Motion (ROM), mengurangi nyeri, dan meningkatkan fungsi. Tujuan: Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui efek akut perubahan fleksibilitas otot hamstring setelah diberikan IASTM dan SMFR, juga mengetahui adanya perbedaan efek akut antara pemberian IASTM dan SMFR pada perubahan fleksibilitas otot hamtring. Metode: Penelitian eksperimen dengan membandingan pre dan post tes dari dua kelompok yang berbeda perlakuan. Kelompok pertama diberikan perlakuan teknik IASTM, kelompok kedua diberikan perlakuan SMFR.  Data yang dikumpulkan dianalisa menggunakan paired t-test dan mann-whitney test. Hasil: Hasil penelitian menunjukkan efek akut IASTM terhadap fleksibilitas otot hamstring (p = 0,001), efek akut SMFR terhadap fleksibilitas otot hamstring  (p = 0,000), Perbedaan pengaruh antara passive dan active MFR terhadap ketegangan otot (p = 0,134). Kesimpulan: Terdapat peningkatan fleksibilitas otot hamstring pada grup 1 dan grup 2. Tidak ada beda pengaruh yang signifikan antara pemberian IASTM atau SMFR terhadap fleksibilitas otot hamstring.  Kata Kunci: Hamstring, instrumen assisted soft tissue mobilization, fleksibilitas, self  myofascial release.
