Abstract

Sports rehabilitation has become a necessity now a days in any sports event. Joint proprioception and agility are important tools for any sports activities. Main techniques used in rehabilitation are soft tissue stretching, ice application, soft tissue manipulation. Amongst them ice application is frequently used. We are well aware of the fact that ice application can reduce nerve conduction velocity, muscle spindle afferent fiber discharge, golgi tendon organ discharge and alter the visco-elastic properties of ligaments. So the study is conducted to check the adverse effects of ice application on joint proprioception and agility functions.
