Summary

The main objective of this study is to compare the effect and the duration of the Neuromuscular Electrical Elongation (NMEE ) technique versus the PNF technique and versus a control group, on the extensibility of the hamstrings muscles.

Hypothesis:

NMEE of shortened hamstrings muscles in healthy subjects, compared with PNF and control group produces a significant increase in hamstrings extensibility.

Conditions

  • Muscle Tone Abnormalities

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Neuromuscular Electrical Elongation

Electrotherapy equipment will be used, choosing an interferential current through bipolar application,with a frequency of 4 kHz and a frequency modulation amplitude of 100 Hz.

PROCEDURE

Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation

Hold-relax technique that involves lengthening the muscle to the point of limitation, at which point the individual performs an isometric contraction for up to 10 s, followed by a passive movement of the limb into the new end-range.
