Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Physiotherapy - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Background and Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the long term effect of neurodynamic sliding technique in football players with decreased hamstring flexibility. Method: 30 healthy male football players with decreased hamstring flexibility and passive SLR less than 80˚, were divided into two groups: Neurodynamic sliding intervention and controlled group respectively. Subjects in Interventional group were treated with neurodynamic sliding technique for over a week on 3 different days and passive SLR was re measured at the end of 1st week, 1st month and 2nd month. Result: Subjects in interventional group were found to have a statistically significant improvement in ROM (77.27±5.54) in comparison with controlled group (71.75±5.99). Conclusion: Our result suggest that neurodynamic sliding technique has a long term effect in improving hamstring flexibility.
