Filter by:The purpose of the study is to compare the effects of dry needling (DN) and instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) on pain, range of motion, lower extremity functional status on hamstring tightness in patients with posterior pelvic tilt.
Comparison of the effects of passive stretching vs. sciatic nerve gliding in soccer players presenting with short hamstring syndrome.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of the HyperVolt percussive massage device, body tempering, and dry cupping to static stretching of the hamstrings of healthy adults aged 18-39 years on the active knee extension and back saver sit-and-reach test.While these modalities are frequently used in healthcare settings there is a paucity of research regarding effectiveness. If the effects on flexibility are comparable, patients could save time and money by performing static stretching.
Monocentric, prospective, randomised, double-blind study of two parallel groups of 66 patients with post-reconstruction ACL hamstring contracture treated with an ultrasound-guided injection at two points on the body of the hamstring - Group 1: botulinum toxin: 100 units (0.5ml) in 1 injection - Group 2: placebo: 0.5 ml in 1 injection
Diacutaneous fibrolysis is a physiotherapeutic instrumental technique, used to treat musculoskeletal conditions causing pain and/or movement restriction. It is applied by means of metallic hooks, ending in a spatula with beveled edges, that seems to allow a better pressure distribution on the skin and a deeper and more precise application, compared to the manual approach. Recent studies indicate positive responses regrading pain intensity decrease in sports people suffering anterior knee pain, improving range of motion in subacromial impingement syndrome, improving sensory conductivity in symptomatic patients with carpal tunnel syndrome, decreased pain in patients with chronic epicondialgia or improveing function athletes with anterior knee pain. However, the specific action mechanism, have not been investigated in depth yet. There are no studies evaluating its effects on posterior muscular chain of lower extremity in athletes, where FD effects on neuromuscular response could be more evident due to the overload involved on this area. The aim of this study is to evaluate the immediate, and after 30 minutes, effects of a single diacutaneous fibrolysis session on flexibility, strength and neuromuscular activity on hamstring in athletes. A randomized controlled trial with blind evaluator. Randomization will be done between lower extremities of each subject (Random.org). Regardless of its own dominance, diacutaneous fibrolysis will be applied to de following muscles and intermuscular septums: gluteus maixmus, biceps femoris and semitendinosus to de lower experimental limb. The other extremity will not be treat (control limb). Sample recruitment. Athletes from UIC university community, who compete officially or institutionally, whether they are federated or recorded in a sport official register where the predominant activity focuses on the lower train (athletics, cycling, football, rugby...). Procedure. The anthropometric data will be collected at the beginning of the study. Each outcome assessment will be performed by a blinded evaluator at the baseline, immediately after the technique application and 30 minutes after.
Whole body vibration therapy is rapidly becoming a topic of interest for the researchers around the world. Evidence suggests that Whole body vibration has an effect on improving flexibility of hamstring muscle and balance in athletes. The purpose was to examine the effect of low amplitude Whole body vibration on the flexibility of hamstring muscle and improving balance in athletes of Pakistan
Diacutaneous fibrolysis is a physiotherapeutic instrumental technique, used to treat musculoskeletal conditions causing pain and/or movement restriction . It is applied by means of metallic hooks, ending in a spatula with beveled edges, that seems to allow a better pressure distribution on the skin and a deeper and more precise application, compared to the manual approach. Recent studies indicate positive responses regrading pain intensity decrease in sports people suffering anterior knee pain, improving range of motion in subacromial impingement syndrome, improving sensory conductivity in symptomatic patients with carpal tunnel syndrome, decreased pain in patients with chronic epicondialgia or improveing function athletes with anterior knee pain. However, the specific action mechanism, have not been investigated in depth yet. Clinical studies show improvements in strength, pain intensity, range of motion, or function. But whether if this effect is produced by changes in tissue tension or by reflexes effects, as has been suggested before, still unclear. There are no studies evaluating its effects on posterior muscular chain of lower extremity in athletes, where FD effects on neuromuscular response could be more evident due to the overload involved on this area. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluate the immediate, and after 30 minutes, effects of a single diacutaneous fibrolysis session on contractile and viscoelastic muscle properties and mechanosensitibity by means of tensiomyography, myotonometry and algometry on posterior muscular chain of lower limb in athletes.
To determine the effects of mulligan's bent leg raise technique on hamstring flexibility and lumber spine mobility in healthy females
The aim of this study is to find whether functional dry needle is helpful to increase the length of shortened hamstring muscle or not
Electrical stimulation has a wide range of clinical applications in rehabilitation, being used for activities such as strengthening, pain control, management of edema, or control of inflammation after injury or surgery. One of the most classic forms of electrotherapy is direct current (DC), which stands out for its particular effects and which are not achieved with other forms of electrical stimulation. A new therapeutic alternative through DC is Percutaneous Microelectrolysis (MEP), which began to have a significant boom in Latin America a couple of years ago. MEP is a minimally invasive procedure in which a low intensity DC is used. MEP has been proposed as a therapeutic resource to reduce muscle contractions and shortenings, thus favoring flexibility, although research to support this effect is lacking. Muscle flexibility is an important component in rehabilitation and training programs. In lower limbs, tightness hamstring muscles is a common condition that limits flexibility and affects sedentary and athletic people. Loss of flexibility of hamstrings has been reported for different sports disciplines, showing a decrease in a high percentage with the exception of sports such as rhythmic gymnastics and dance where flexibility is essential for good performance. Loss of hamstring extensibility has been associated with a higher incidence of muscle tears, patellar tendinopathy, low back pain and alterations in lumbopelvic rhythm associated with compensatory biomechanical changes such as limb shortening, pelvic retroversion, and increased thoracic kyphosis, among others. It is interesting to investigate the effectiveness of MEP in hamstring tightness. A increase in hamstring flexibility can contribute to increased joint range, muscle strength, and lower limb agility.
