Filter by:the study aims to assess the efficacy of two interventions, namely the muscle energy technique and the hamstring Nordic lower exercise, in addressing hamstring tightness among young athletes in Pakistan.
To study efficacy of focus extracorporeal shock wave therapy on the flexibility of hamstring muscles in healthy subjects
The study will be randomized controlled trial to determine the effects of lumbosacral mobility program on muscle length in sedentary young adults with tight hamstrings. Only the eligible subjects who fulfill the inclusion criteria will be included in the study. A sample of 78 subjects will be taken and randomly allocated into two groups with 39 each. Group A will be given three treatments. Manual therapy, mobility exercise therapy and home based self stretching program. Manual therapy mobilization posterior-anterior glides at lumber facets joints, transverse glides at spinous process & Posterior-anterior glides at SI joint. Glides will be performed 3 times with 5 repetitions. Mobility exercise therapy (Single knee to chest, double knee to chest, Lumbar rotation, Lumbar extension, Pelvic tilting). A total of 30 min sessions three times a week on alternate days for 1 week & home-based self-stretches program twice a day for three times a week on alternate days for 1 week. Group B will be given home-based self-stretching program twice a day for three times a week on alternate days for 1 week .The baseline values of all the dependent variable will be recorded on day one and at the end of the 1-week treatment session, using goniometry, active and passive knee extension test, passive straight leg raising and lower extremity functional scale will be used
1. Comparison between Mulligan traction straight leg raise (TSLR) and Post Isometric Relaxation (PIR) on hamstring, on range of motion (ROM) of knee extension and flexibility of hamstring muscle. 2. Secondary objective of the study is to compare the effectiveness of Mulligan Traction Straight Leg Raise (TSLR) and Post Isometric Relaxation (PIR) in lumber spine mobility in healthy individuals. 3. This study will also help to reduce the financial burden of society by identifying the commonly neglected hamstring tightness as one of the causes of developing low back pain and eventually affecting their health. 4. This study will provide evidence regarding prevention of low back pain as hamstring tightness is one of the risk factor for developing low back pain.
This study was intended to compare the immediate, short term and long term effects of active isolated stretch versus post isometric relaxation on hamstring flexibility in young healthy adults.35 students were assigned randomly into two groups with 17 and 18 in each group. Group A was given post isometric relaxation while Group B was Active isolated stretch. 22.2 year male and female students with tight hamstring were included while any neurological and orthopedic disorder were excluded. Active Isolated Stretch and Post Isometric Relaxation at baseline, after first and final exercise session were calculated immediate and short term effects while long term effects were calculated after two weeks of final session.
This study compared the effects of dynamic oscillatory stretch technique (DOS) and static stretching (SS) technique in order to improve hamstring extensibility in healthy individuals with asymptomatic hamstring tightness. Half of study participants received DOS whereas other half received static stretching technique.
The ability of an individual to move smoothly depends on his flexibility, an attribute that enhances both safety and optimal physical activity. Hamstring tightness leads to hamstring injuries and hamstring injuries are the most common type of injury among athletes. These injuries are slow to recover, make high health expenditure and decrease the performance level of the athlete. The hamstring is an example of the muscle group that has a tendency to get shorten Muscle tightness is caused by a decrease in the ability of the muscle to deform, resulting in a decrease in the range of motion at the joint on which it acts. Inability to achieve greater than 120° of knee extension with the hip at 90° of flexion is considered as hamstring tightness.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of myofascial decompression (cupping) and neurodynamic sliding technique for the hamstring on Division I Track and Field athletes who complain of hamstring tightness. Research questions will be: how do these techniques affect hamstring range of motion and flexibility; isometric strength of the hamstring muscle; muscle activation; and rate of force development. The hypotheses of this study are that neurodynamic sliding will have an effect on all variables and myofascial decompression will only have an effect on range of motion.
The purpose of this study is to find out if individuals with tight hamstring muscles who receive dry needling in addition to a standard stretching exercise program, show an improvement in hamstring tightness and function compared to individuals with tight hamstrings who receive either sham dry needling or no needling (blunt needle) in addition to a standard stretching program.
