Filter by:The aim of this study protocol is to describe the rationale and methodology for evaluating the effect of using therapeutic exercises and ultrasound in the rehabilitation of partially injured hamstring muscles on elite football players.
The study is randomized and single blinded. Ethical approval is taken from ethical committee of Riphah international university Lahore. Participants who meet the inclusion criteria will be enrolled and allocated in group A and group B through sealed envelope method by non probability convenient random sampling technique. Subjects in group A will receive Progressive eccentric exercises. Group B will receive Bodyweight exercises.
To assess the immediate effects of hamstring stretching alone or combined with myofascial release of the hamstring muscle on masseter muscle activity, pressure pain threshold, active mouth opening, hamstring flexibility, and forward head flexed posture in recreationally active participants. The young, healthy, recreationally active adults aged 18-25 years were included in the study. The participants were randomly separated into two groups of equal number. Static stretching alone was applied to one group and this was combined with myofascial release techniques (SSMR) for the other group. Masseter muscle activity was assessed using a NORAXON® surface electromyography device. Both pre-and post-intervention, mechanical pressure algometer was used to measure the pressure pain threshold, hamstring flexibility was evaluated using the maximum hip flexion and active knee extension test, the maximum mouth opening (MMO) was measured with the millimetric ruler, and forward flexed posture was evaluated using the tragus to wall distance test.
The purpose of this study is to examine the acute and chronic effects of high frequency electrical current transfer (frequently called "TECAR") on pain and functional movement in individuals with a musculoskeletal injury or pain. The participants will be assigned into an experimental or a control group and outcome measures will be measured prior to, after, 24 and 48 hours following a single intervention session (Acute effects) as well as 3 and 6 months after the intervention (chronic effects).
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of Blood Flow Restriction Training on the elasticity of the hamstring muscle after an acute injury. Therefore a group of football players with a recent hamstring strain injury (HSI) will be recruited and randomly assigned in one of the three following groups: Experimental group: Classic rehabilitation + Blood Flow Restriction Training Sham group: Classic rehabilitation + sham Blood Flow Restriction Training Control group: Classic rehabilitation The study procedure will be as followed: 1. HSI (onset) -> recruitment via football clubs, physiotherapy practices, leaflets,… 2. MRI scan (day 0-4) -> injury location, grade and extend (The British Athletics Medical Team Classification) 3. Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) measurement (day 0-4) of the injured site and the exact same location at the contralateral leg. 4. Rehabilitation in one of the three groups + Testing At the first therapy session a standardized initial assessment sheet will be filled in comprising of all the necessary information regarding patient information and history (recent hamstring injury and past injuries) . Furthermore, a weekly assessment of the strongest predictors of rehabilitation duration will be conducted. Between day 12 and 16 a second shear wave elastographic measurement will be performed. 5. Return to play (RTP) The RTP decision will be made by the head physician and the attending physiotherapist. The decision will be based on clearly predefined criteria. At moment of RTP a third shear wave elastographic measurement will be performed. 6. Follow-up The football players will be contacted regularly by phone to inquire about possible re-injuries, this for a period of 6 months after injury onset. At week 12 after injury onset, a fourth and last shear wave elastographic measurement will be performed. The evolution of the hamstring elasticity and other outcome measures will be compared between groups and also within groups between the injured leg and the healthy contralateral leg.
The aim of the study is to investigate pain, function and quality of life before and 10-12 months after surgical repair and/or rehabilitation of hamstrings avulsion
This study evaluates the injury in amateur football, adding different excercise into the habitual practice. There are three groups, one of them do eccentric excercise, another group doing proprioception exercise and the last group don´t do any exercise.
