Clinical Trial Summary

In this study, the effect of plantar fascia release with a magnetic fascial cork ball on hamstring and lumbar extensor muscle elasticity will be investigated.


Description:

The use of tools such as foam rollers or massage balls to resolve myofascial tension is highly preferred by both therapists and patients. It is theorized that the sweeping pressure generated during rolling causes the fascia to stretch and increase the range of motion. In addition, the warming caused by the friction during rolling can dissolve the adhesions between the fascial layers and restore the elasticity of the myofascial tissues. In addition to similar mechanical effects, the use of cork balls with magnetic properties is becoming increasingly common. Studies have shown that static magnetic magnets reduce pain, increase microcirculation and oxygenation and cause changes in presynaptic membrane function. As far as we know, there is no study examining the myofascial relaxation effect of magnetic balls in the literature. Evaluating the clinical impact and efficacy of this device which allow the person to perform self-massage might contribute the current literature. This study was planned to evaluate the myofascial relaxation caused by two different fascial cork balls with and without magnetic properties.

Intervention

Other:
Plantar fascia self massage with a magnetic fascia ball
Participants were asked to roll the magnetic fascia ball on the sole of each foot for 3 minutes each, from the metatarsal heads towards the heel, concentrating on the medial longitudinal arch. Participants were informed that more intense pressure would be more beneficial and were asked to apply pressure in a way that would not cause pain.
Plantar fascia self massage with a non-magnetic fascia ball
Participants were asked to roll the non-magnetic fascia ball on the sole of each foot for 3 minutes each, from the metatarsal heads towards the heel, concentrating on the medial longitudinal arch. Participants were informed that more intense pressure would be more beneficial and were asked to apply pressure in a way that would not cause pain.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Goniometric Measurement of Hamstring Flexibility Individuals are positioned supine with the hip of the limb to be measured at 90 degrees. In this position, active knee extension is requested and the acute angle between the long axis of the femur and the long axis of the fibula is measured. The DrGonyometer (iOS) smart phone application, for which a validity and reliability study was conducted, was used for the measurement. Two times in one day (before intervention, immediately after intervention)
Secondary Sit and reach test Individuals are placed in a long sitting position with their feet resting on the test battery (Figure 2) and knees in full extension. They are asked to reach forward on the wooden block by placing their hands on top of each other. In this position, the distance between the fingers of the hand and the point where the foot rests is measured and the previous values are recorded as negative and the following values as positive. Two times in one day (before intervention, immediately after intervention)
