Effects of Different Electrophysical Agents in Hamstring Muscles Flexibility of Healthy Individuals

Summary

Sixty healthy individuals will be randomised into four groups. Group I (15 subjects) will be applied hotpacks, Group II (15 subjects) will be applied infrared, Group III will be applied ultrasound to hamstring muscles for 18 sessions 3 times per week and the subjects will do hamstring self stretching exercise 3 times for 15 seconds. Group IV will only do self stretching exercises.

Outcome measures are Range of Motion and hamstring flexibility. Measurements will record before and after the end of the treatment.

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Hotpack Group

Hotpack Group received 20 minutes hotpack to hamstring muscles region at prone position and participants stretched the hamstring muscles at supine position.Self stretching hamstring exercise was done by straight leg lifting using a band three times for 15 seconds .

PROCEDURE

Infrared Group

Infrared Group received 20 minutes infrared to hamstring muscles region at prone position and participants stretchted the hamstring muscles at supine position.Self stretching hamstring exercise was done by straight leg lifting using a band three times for 15. seconds .

PROCEDURE

Ultrasound Group

Ultrasound Group received 5 minutes 1 M-Hz, 1,5 watt/cm2 ultrasound therapy to hamstring muscles region at prone position and participants stretched the hamstring muscles at supine position.Self stretching hamstring exercise was done by straight leg lifting using a band three times for 15 seconds .

PROCEDURE

Control

Control Group participants stretched the hamstring muscles at supine position.Self stretching hamstring exercise was done by straight leg lifting using a band three times for 15 seconds .
