简要总结
The aim of thid study was to compare two methods applied to increase the flexibility of the hamstring muscles and objectively evaluate changes in muscle stiffness using the two-dimensional shear wave ultrasound elastography (2D SWE) method. Thirty asymptomatic young individuals with hamstring shortness were divided into two groups by simple randomization. The Mulligan bent leg raise (BLR) technique was applied to the first group, and passive static stretching exercises to the second group. Hamstring flexibility was evaluated with the sit-and-reach test, and muscle stiffness with the 2D SWE method.

结局指标
主要结局
Back-saver sit-and-reach test
时间窗: Up to 2 months
The difference between the back-saver sit-and-reach test and the classical sit-and-reach test is that the former is applied unilaterally. The test was administered using the sit-and-reach test box. The participants were asked to sit on a flat surface and rest the sole of one of their feet flat on the end of the box while keeping the other leg flat on the floor by flexing the knee and hips to 90° and 45° sequentially. Maintaining this position, they were asked to place one hand on the other with their palms facing down, slide their hands on the measuring board, slowly reach forward, wait for a second or two at the last point reached
