A Pilot Study: Perceptual Effects of the Voodoo Floss Band on Glenohumeral Flexibility

Abstract: Even though adaption of the Voodoo Floss Band is gaining momentum, evidence-based literature on its effectiveness remains sparse. The purpose of this quantitative observational design study was to investigate the effects of the Voodoo Floss Band on soft-tissue flexibility and perception of movement. A repeated-measures ANOVA with between-subjects factor demonstrated both groups significantly improved GH flexion range of motion from pretest to post-test but there was not a statistically significant difference b… Show more

“…The floss band has subjectively been reported to be unique from other common compressive bands such as the ACE ™ wrap for example, and in comparison has been suggested to adhere more effectively to the skin without slipping, once applied (Kiefer, Lemarr, Enriquez, Tivener, & Daniel, 2017). Furthermore, the floss band has been reported to provide a tighter and therefore stronger, direct pressure on applied tissue, compared to alternative wrapping options (Castro-Sanchez et al, 2011).…”

“…Furthermore, the floss band has been reported to provide a tighter and therefore stronger, direct pressure on applied tissue, compared to alternative wrapping options (Castro-Sanchez et al, 2011). In addition to its previous use predominantly in the strength and conditioning community only, the floss band is now also being considered by medical professionals in recovery, treatment and rehabilitation settings (Kiefer et al, 2017). In some instances, clinicians are also using the floss band as a mode of myofascial release.…”

“…Eine Pilotstudie zur Wirksamkeitsprüfung des Medical Flossings bei unspezifischen Knie-und Sprunggelenksproblemen wurde nach Angaben des Autors aufgrund von Messfehlern, die sich bei der Auswertung herausstellten, nicht beendet [13]. An Personen ohne Beschwerden wurden Effekte von Flossing in Bezug auf Bewegungsausmaß und Kraft der Armmuskulatur evaluiert, allerdings ohne dabei Unterschiede zwischen der Interventionsgruppe (IG) und der Kontrollgruppe (KG) festzustellen [14][15][16].…”
