Filter by:The aim of this study is to investigate the instantaneous effects of self-stretching, plantar self-massage and manual stimulation on balance and reaction time in healthy individuals. 102 individuals meeting the inclusion criteria will be included in the study. Individuals will be randomly divided into 3 groups: static stretching group (n=34), self-massage group (n=34) and manual stimulation group (n=34). Static stretching will be applied to all individuals (n=102). In addition to static stretching, self-massage will be applied to individuals in the self-massage group (n=34). Individuals in the manual stimulation group (n=34) will receive manual stimulation in addition to static stretching. Individuals will be evaluated in terms of static balance, dynamic balance, reaction time and foot functionality before and immediately after the applications.
RCT with two arms: (1) stretch fascia plantaris (6 weeks, n=30) (2) control (n=30); Outcome parameters: ROM ankle and first toe; visco-elastic behaviour of the fascia plantaris determined by means of myotonometry Study protocol: Outcome parameters were evaluated before and after the intervention/control with a 6 weeks interval. All participants were screened bilaterally and for the participants assigned to the intervention group stretching was only performed on the dominant side
Phase III clinical trial, multicentre of superiority, randomized, double-blind, parallel groups, placebo-controlled and use of ibuprofen gel in the treatment of acute pain.
In recent years, dry needling techniques have become widespread in the field of musculoskeletal pain treatment. Specifically, the management of myofascial trigger points has been the focus of these techniques. One of the objectives has been to improve the flexibility of those muscles that, due to the presence of myofascial trigger points, had a decrease in this parameter. This study aims to determine whether the application of a dry needling technique is more effective than analytical stretching of the muscle.
This study examines the relationship between circulation and walking speed after performing 8-week stretching exercises.
identification of optimal duration for hamstring muscle stretch by using 3 different time of stretch 15,30,60 seconds .100 subjects will be participated in this study divided into 4 group one control and 3 experimental groups according to stretch time.
Stretching is reported to have detrimental effects on strength and thus avoided prior to strength training session. Do stretching indeed decreases muscle strength? To examine the time course (immediate, 10- and 20-min post stretching) for the effects of 2, 4, and 8 min long duration of static-stretching (SS) on isometric maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) force of hamstring muscles.
60 healthy participants with right / left upper trapezoidal shortness based on volunteering will be included in the study. Participants were randomly divided into 4 groups; Traction and stretching exercises to group 1 (n = 15), laser therapy and stretching exercise to group 2 (n = 15), hot pack and stretching exercises to group 3 (n = 15), and group 4 (control group) only stretching exercises will be applied.
Acutely, during different bouts of passive stretching (PS), blood flow (Q ̇) and shear rate ( ) in the feeding artery of the stretched muscles increases during the first two elongations and then it reduces during the following bouts. This hyperemic response during the first two elongations is mediated by the local release of vasoactive molecules (e.g. nitric oxide, NO). This phenomenon disappears during the following elongations due to the NO and other vasoactive molecule depletion. The relaxation phase between stretching bouts, instead, is always characterized by hyperemia as results of stretch-induced peripheral resistances decrease. Whether chronic PS administration may influence vascular function is still a matter of investigation. The hypothesis is that repetitive PS-induced Q ̇ and changes may be an enough stimulus to provoke increments in NO bioavailability, thus improving vasomotor response.
This research shows the effect of stretching exercises on dynamic balance. football players divided into 2 groups do different stretching exercises, dynamic and static. The control group does not do stretching exercises. The study should show which stretching exercises have a greater effect on the Y balance test than the dynamic balance test.
