NCT03868826
The aim of the study is to investigate pain, function and quality of life before and 10-12 months after surgical repair and/or rehabilitation of hamstrings avulsion
NCT06188897
The aim of the present study is to analyze if there is a biomechanical relationship between trunk flexion and buccal opening and to observe if there is an improvement of trunk flexion by performing the "sit and reach" test when stretching the masticatory muscles.
NCT06131060
The study is randomized and single blinded. Ethical approval is taken from ethical committee of Riphah international university Lahore. Participants who meet the inclusion criteria will be enrolled and allocated in group A and group B through sealed envelope method by non probability convenient random sampling technique. Subjects in group A will receive Progressive eccentric exercises. Group B will receive Bodyweight exercises.
NCT06089681
The aim of this study is to: 1. Compare trunk muscle performance between sprinters with and without HSI history 2. Investigate whether running speed influences the differences on trunk muscle activity between these two groups
NCT04246515
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of Blood Flow Restriction Training on the elasticity of the hamstring muscle after an acute injury. Therefore a group of football players with a recent hamstring strain injury (HSI) will be recruited and randomly assigned in one of the three following groups: Experimental group: Classic rehabilitation + Blood Flow Restriction Training Sham group: Classic rehabilitation + sham Blood Flow Restriction Training Control group: Classic rehabilitation The study procedure will be as followed: 1. HSI (onset) -\> recruitment via football clubs, physiotherapy practices, leaflets,… 2. MRI scan (day 0-4) -\> injury location, grade and extend (The British Athletics Medical Team Classification) 3. Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) measurement (day 0-4) of the injured site and the exact same location at the contralateral leg. 4. Rehabilitation in one of the three groups + Testing At the first therapy session a standardized initial assessment sheet will be filled in comprising of all the necessary information regarding patient information and history (recent hamstring injury and past injuries) . Furthermore, a weekly assessment of the strongest predictors of rehabilitation duration will be conducted. Between day 12 and 16 a second shear wave elastographic measurement will be performed. 5. Return to play (RTP) The RTP decision will be made by the head physician and the attending physiotherapist. The decision will be based on clearly predefined criteria. At moment of RTP a third shear wave elastographic measurement will be performed. 6. Follow-up The football players will be contacted regularly by phone to inquire about possible re-injuries, this for a period of 6 months after injury onset. At week 12 after injury onset, a fourth and last shear wave elastographic measurement will be performed. The evolution of the hamstring elasticity and other outcome measures will be compared between groups and also within groups between the injured leg and the healthy contralateral leg.
NCT05496660
The invesitgators performed a randomized controlled trial on collegiate sprinters to explore the combined effect of the NHE and KT and randomly allocated the subjects into the experimental (NHE+KT) or control (NHE) group by an independent researcher using the sealed envelopes method. To calculate the sample size, a Cohen's d effect size of 0.4, an alpha level of 0.05, a test power of 0.95 were configured to G\*Power software, at least 34 samples were computed. Considering the dropouts, 40 male collegiate sprinters were enrolled, explained the procedures of this study and voluntarily written informed consent. Inclusion criteria was that participants must be male, aged 18 years or older, training at the university level at least 4 times per week, with no history of lower limb injury within the last 6 months and no previous experience of the NHE or KT. Participants who had lower limb mobility limitation or injury especially HSI within 6 months and associated musculoskeletal, respiratory or cardiovascular diseases and was allergic to kinesio tape were excluded.
NCT04290065
Fatigue influences the kinematics of the knee. Decreasing the tone of the suboccipital musculature may decrease the tone of the knee flexors. Inhibition of the suboccipital musculature is used to improve ischiosural muscle tension. The main objective of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the stretching of the miodural bridge in the modification of the posture in professional soccer players of 3rd division. Randomized clinical trial. 30 players will be randomized to the two study groups: experimental (technique of stretching technique of the miodural bridge) and control (without intervention). A blinded evaluator will perform three evaluations: pretreatment, post-treatment and follow-up. The study variables will be: modification of posture and weight distribution (plantar pressure platform). The sample distribution will be calculated using a Kolmogórov-Smirnov analysis. The changes after each evaluation will be analyzed with the t-student test of related samples and through an ANOVA of repeated measures the intra and intersubject effect will be observed. The effect size will be calculated using Cohen's formula. After stretching the miodural bridge, it is expected to see improvement in posture changes.
NCT04257591
Athelts that meet the inclusion criteria will be randomized into two groups. The experimental group will receive an 8-week (3 days per week) specificl protocol based on hamstring strengthening (isometric, concentric and excentric exercises), and the control group will not receive any additional exercise. The aim of the study is to investigate the changes in hip and knee muscle strength, in the extensibility of cuadriceps, hamstrings and hip abductors, in the physical functions and in the final marks.
NCT03044106
Purpose: To conduct a pilot study of the effect of Cranial Laser Reflex Technique (CLRT) compared with sham laser on hamstring muscle flexibility, strength, and pain pressure threshold. Participants: Active, young adults ages 18 to 35. Procedures: A two-visit, assessor and participant-blinded crossover study with 1-week washout. Subjects will complete three functional hamstring tests before and after CLRT and sham laser treatment. Subjects will also complete questionnaires to assess their expectations and perceptions of the interventions.
NCT03697473
This study aimed to compare the effect of two hamstring strengthening programmes on hamstring muscle strength in Gaelic footballers. 26 Gaelic footballers were recruited and randomly assigned to one of two 4-week hamstring strengthening programmes, namely the hip extension exercise programme and the Nordic hamstring exercise protocol. Isokinetic hamstring and quadriceps strength were measured before and after the intervention.
