Overview

Randomized trial found percussion massage therapy reduced EMG activity in individuals with chronic ankle instability, indicating potential implications for rehabilitation.

Key Points

  • Post-intervention, participants receiving percussion massage therapy showed a significant reduction in EMG activity.
  • Peak muscle activation was 10% lower in chronic ankle instability limbs after percussion massage therapy.
  • Individuals with chronic ankle instability displayed 26% lower peak muscle activation pre-intervention.
  • Further research is necessary to understand the long-term effects of percussion massage therapy on muscle activation.
