Movement of the Tennis Ball on the Sole of the Foot: The tennis ball is moved under the foot by back and forth movements and by applying pressure. The aim is to briefly keep the pressure of the ball on the body and the stress indicated by the massage on.

myofascial release with tennis ball

This research; It was aimed to evaluate the effect of myofascial release using a tennis ball on balance and quality of life in cancer patients who developed peripheral neuropathy.

The Effect of Tennis Ball on Balance and Quality of Life in Cancer Patients With Neuropathy.

The Effect of Myofascial Release Using a Tennis Ball on Balance and Quality of Life in Cancer Patients With Peripheral Neuropathy: a Randomized Controlled Trial.

The patients' quality of life will be evaluated with the EORTC QLQ-C30, which was developed by EORTC for cancer patients and is widely used all over the world. The first 28 of the scale, which consists of three subheadings and 30 questions, namely functional difficulties, symptom control and general well-being, are four-point Likert type, and the answers are given as "Not at all", "Somewhat", "2", Somewhat "3", Very "4". is evaluated. In the 29th and 30th questions of the scale, the patient is asked to evaluate his/her general well-being by using a linear analog scale and giving a value from 1 to 7 ("1" is very bad and "7" is excellent). Functional scale: physical function (questions 1-5), role function (questions 6 and 7), emotional function (questions 21-24), cognitive function (questions 20 and 25) and social function (questions 26 and 27). )consists of subgroups

During the test, the participant is asked to cross his arms in front of his body and lift one leg without touching the support leg. Initially, his eyes are open. The eyes are fixed in the direction of the head, the participant is asked to close his eyes and is expected to maintain his balance for 30 seconds.

In the lateral reach test, the participant is asked to turn his back to the wall, stand close to it but not touch it, and keep his arm close to the wall by abducting it at 90 degrees

Pain will be assessed with the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) \[20\]. Patients are explained that the number "0" on a 10 cm horizontal line means no pain, and the number "10" means "unbearable pain

In quantitative pain threshold measurement, a 1 cm2 surface algometer will be used to measure the pressure pain threshold. The algometer is positioned upright, the pressure is increased to 1kg/cm2 at the painful point every three seconds, and the measurements are repeated 3 times with a 30-second rest period in between. The average of 3 measurements is used for analysis.

Participants will be evaluated in a sitting position with eyes closed using an aesthesiometer (Instrument Company, Lafayette, IN, USA). Evaluation will be made from the trans-metatarsal area, middle of the foot and middle of the heel. It will start from the interval where two points can be easily distinguished. The distance between two points will be reduced in 1 mm intervals until the two points are felt as a single point.
