简要总结
45 female participants with short hamstring syndrome were devided into one of the three groups; Group I: suboccipital muscle inhinbition plus passive hamstring stretch, group II: Slump stretch position plus Passive hamstring stretch, and group III: Passive stretch of hamstring muscle. Assessment methods were Straight leg raising test, forward flexion test and popliteal angle test, were measured at baseline, immediately after 1st treatment session then after 4 weeks of treatment.
详细描述
Forty five university undergraduate female students volunteered to participate in the study, age = 18-25 years old, body mass index 18-25 kg/cm square.
All subjects were free from injury or disease expected to affect hamstring length or ability to perform the exercises Design of the study was single-blind randomized clinical trial. The subjects were randomly assigned in to one of the three methods of treatment, which are group 1 (study group1): suboccipital muscle inhibition plus passive stretch of hamstring muscle, Group II: ( Study groupII): received neural slump test position plus passive stretch of hamstring muscle, Group III (control group): received only passive stretch of hamstring muscle.
Treatment Procedures:
Passive stretching of hamstring muscle:
Patient in comfortable supine lying position and therapist stride standing beside the dominant side of the patient. The patient was asked to flex his hip joint with complete knee extension and ankle in neutral position. The therapist stretches the hamstring of the dominant side; distal hand of the therapist on planter surface of foot for dorsiflexion to increase flexibility of hamstring muscle and proximal hand on the knee to increase the length of the muscle, maintain this stretching for 60 seconds then relax (8)

结局指标
主要结局
Straight leg raising test
时间窗: after 4 weeks of intervention.
the patient was supine lying position with hip and knee extension at the starting position, then the patient was asked to actively flex hip joint as much as possible while maintaining the knee in extension position. Then with the goniometer the therapist started to determine the angle of hip flexion, patients were excluded if the SRL was more than 80˚at the initial evaluation
次要结局
- Forward flexion test(after 4 weeks of treatment.)
- Popliteal Angle Test(after 4 weeks of intervention.)
