Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of myofascial decompression (cupping) and neurodynamic sliding technique for the hamstring on Division I Track and Field athletes who complain of hamstring tightness. Research questions will be: how do these techniques affect hamstring range of motion and flexibility; isometric strength of the hamstring muscle; muscle activation; and rate of force development. The hypotheses of this study are that neurodynamic sliding will have an effect on all variables and myofascial decompression will only have an effect on range of motion.
Primary Outcome
Using the 'Active Knee Extension test', subjects are placed supine with both the hip and knee positioned at 90° of flexion and then asked to extend lower leg until point of limitation. A digital inclinometer is used to measure the angle of the knee joint in this position to examine flexibility of the hamstring muscle group.
Interventions
- OTHER Neurodynamic Sliding
- OTHER Myofascial Decompression
- OTHER Diathermy
