Title: A Change in Blood Flow to the Muscle during Compression Therapy Objectives: The main objective of this work is to determine the change in muscle blood flow during compression therapy, specifically during flossing. Another objective is to get acquainted with compression techniques. Methods: In our work, we used an anamnesty questionnaire to get basic information about probabilities. Flossing was applied to the right shoulder for two minutes. The flow measurement was carried out on Précisé 8008 and the data were evaluated using descriptive statistics, testing using a linear model, an ANOVA and T-test. Results: We found that the development of blood flow to the biceps brachii muscle during and after application is variable. After application of flossing, there are statistically significant changes in blood flow to the upper limb (where flossing was applied) and subsequently, after application, there is an improvement in muscle blood flow (TcpO2). There is also a change in blood flow to the opposite limb (where flossing has not been applied), but this change is statistically significant at the time of the lowest blood flow to the limb where flossing was applied and 15 minutes after the lowest perfusion was measured. Furthermore, flossing was found not to return rapidly to baseline in the upper...

Diploma thesis title: Influence of tissue flossing therapy on the range of motion and fascial chains in the lower limbs. Objectives: The main objective is to present theoretical facts about tissue flossing therapy, to document the effect of this method on the active range of motion in the lower limbs and to investigate whether this increase in movement can be achieved by influencing fascial chains in distant parts of the musculoskeletal system. Methods: The research was completed by 30 recreational or high-level athletes aged 19 to 26 years. Initial testing and subsequent treatment of the ankle joint and surrounding fascial structures were done using the tissue flossing technique. The initial tests consisted of a weight- bearing lunge test to test the dorsal flexion of the ankle joint and a Thomayer test to test the range of motion within the fascial superficial back line. Treatment of both ankle joints and surrounding fascial structures on both lower limbs was followed by final testing. The resulting data were processed using mathematical software R. A paired t-test, a two-sample t-test for independent selections assuming different variables and a test of the agreement of the fraction with a known constant were used to calculate the p-values. Statistical significance was determined at the critical...
