An acute bout of foam rolling of the biceps brachii does not affect upper extremity sensorimotor function: a randomized trial.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To investigate the effects of single session foam rolling of the biceps brachii on upper extremity sensorimotor function including elbow proprioception, strength, and functional motor performance in healthy individuals.

Methods

Sixty healthy participants (mean age = 21.53 ± 2.80 years) were randomly assigned into the foam rolling group (FRG, n = 30) (mean age = 22.10 ± 2.98 years) (a single session of foam rolling to the biceps brachii muscle) or control group (CG, n = 30) (mean age = 20.97 ± 2.52 years) (no application). Proprioception [joint position sense (JPS) with an inclinometer, force sense (force reproduction) with a hand-held dynamometer], muscle strength (biceps brachii muscle strength with a hand-held dynamometer), and functional motor performance [modifie
