An interventional study of Foam Rolling Exercise in Proprioceptive Disorders, sponsored by Dokuz Eylul University. Completed at 1 site in Turkey. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2019-02-12.
Sponsored by Dokuz Eylul University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
The purpose of this study is to investigate the acute effects of foam rolling on elbow joint sensorimotor function with healthy participants . Study group will receive foam rolling exercise. Control group will receive no foam rolling exercise. Control group will be given a brochure including information about proprioception and foam rolling.
There is no information in literature about the effects of foam rolling on elbow joint sensorimotor function. The purpose of this study is to investigate acute effects of foam rolling with healthy participants. Study group will receive foam rolling exercise actively by themselves on elbow.
Foam rolling exercise will be applied 10 times each for 1 minute. These exercise will be performed as 2 sets. After each set will be a resting period for 30 seconds. A total of 1 session will be performed. Second evaluation will be performed after exercise at the same day. Control group will receive no foam rolling exercise. They will be handed a brochure about the proprioception and its role in injury prevention and foam rolling. Control group will be evaluated for the first time. Afterwards, second evaluation will be performed after resting period (2 minutes) at the same day.
61 studies on the registry are indexed under Somatosensory Disorders; 8 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 60 is above the median of 40 across 42 interventional studies indexed under Somatosensory Disorders.

Exclusion Criteria:
The participants in this group will receive foam rolling exercise.
Other: Foam Rolling Exercise
The participants in this group will receive no foam rolling. They will only be evaluated.
Foam rolling exercise will be performed actively. Participants will use a foam roller for exercise. They will position the foam roller on the chair. Afterwards, they will use their body weights to rub the elbow area (biceps brachii muscle) with this foam. There will be 2 sets and each set will be 1 minute. Single set contains 10 repetitions in 1 minute with 30 seconds resting period between sets
Elbow Proprioception
Change of elbow joint position sense (with digital inclinometer in degree ) and force match ( hand held dynamometer in kg )
Time frame: [Time Frame: Baseline, after 1session foam rolling exercise period and then follow up measurement at the same day]
Biceps Brachii Strength
Change of biceps brachii strength ( hand held dynamometer in kg )
Time frame: [Time Frame: Baseline, after 1session foam rolling exercise period and then follow up measurement at the same day]
Elbow Sensorimotor Performance
Change of elbow functional motor performance (push up test, modified pull up test, closed kinetic chain upper extremity stability test )
Time frame: [Time Frame: Baseline, after 1session foam rolling exercise period and then follow up measurement at the same day]
