简要总结
There are physiotherapy techniques, known as lumbar mobilization, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, massage therapy, windsheets and foam roller that present good results in stretching the legs. This study aims to evaluate which of these techniques has a better result in leg stretching. It is believed that massage therapy and lumbar mobilization will provide better results.
详细描述
A randomized clinical trial blind crossover. The aim of this study is comparing the immediate effect of five interventions on the flexibility of hamstrings in healthy individuals. Participants will be assessed pre and post intervention through the extended leg elevation test and photogrammetry. The techniques of unilateral lumbar mobilization, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, massage, ventosa therapy and foam roller will be applied on different days with a 48-hour interval between interventions. The techniques will be compared using the repeated measures ANOVA after verification of normality by the Shapiro-Wilk test, adopting the significance level of 5% and 95% confidence interval.

结局指标
主要结局
Range of motion
时间窗: 10 minutes
The study has as main variable the range of motion of the hamstrings measured in degrees, through the test of the Elevation of the Extended Leg. The amplitude reached in the pre- and post-test was recorded by means of a photogrammetry and analyzed by a free postural evaluation program that provides the researcher with calculating linear and angular measurements through spatially defined anatomical points.
