研究组 & 干预措施
F-ESWT
F-EWST with 0.15 mJ/mm2 intensity and 6 Hz frequency for 3 weeks. The shocking head was placed at the muscle positions of the long head of the bicep femoris, semitendinosus, and semimembranosus for 1,000, 500, and 500 shocks, respectively, accounting for 2,000 shocks in total/ session/week.
干预措施: Home stretching program (Behavioral)
F-ESWT
F-EWST with 0.15 mJ/mm2 intensity and 6 Hz frequency for 3 weeks. The shocking head was placed at the muscle positions of the long head of the bicep femoris, semitendinosus, and semimembranosus for 1,000, 500, and 500 shocks, respectively, accounting for 2,000 shocks in total/ session/week.
干预措施: focus extracorporeal shock wave therapy (Device)
Sham-ESWT
sham ESWT by using the focused shockwave device and placing the shocking head in the same muscle positions as performed in the intervention group with 0.01 mJ/mm2 intensity and 6 Hz frequency in 2,000 shocks/session/week for 3 weeks.
干预措施: Home stretching program (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Passive knee extension test
时间窗: Immediately after every F-ESWT treatment, for 3sessions
The clinician extends the knee until reaching the maximal tolerable stretch of the hamstring muscle as indicated by the patient with the ipsilateral hip remaining in 90 of flexion. The knee angle is then measured with a goniometer
次要结局
- Toe touch test (TT)(Immediately after every F-ESWT treatment, for 3sessions)
- Back-saver sit-and-reach test (BSSR)(Immediately after every F-ESWT treatment, for 3sessions)
- Sit and reach test (SRT)(Immediately after every F-ESWT treatment, for 3sessions)
