| Abstract |
Background: Hamstrings tightness is a major risk factor concerning lower back pain
and lower extremity injuries. Occipito-frontal release with dorsiflexion technique
is a novel technique developed to improve the superficial back line (SBL) flexibility.
This technique combines passive and active loading at the cephalic end, and caudal
end of the SBL, respectively.
Objectives: To compare the effects of OFRDF and passive static stretching aimed at
improving SBL flexibility in sedentary participants.
Materials and methods: Fifty-six participants demonstrating bilateral hamstring
tightness (passive knee extension angle test greater than 20 degrees) were recruited.
Participants were allocated via stratified block randomization (block size 4 and 6).
Participants in the experimental group partook in OFRDF technique, whereas
participants in the control group partook in passive static stretching. Both groups
performed each intervention 3 times a week. Outcome measures were passive
knee extension angle (PKE), craniovertebral angle (CVA), and sit and reach (SR)
distance. Outcomes were measured at baseline, after the primary intervention,
and post third intervention. A mixed-model ANOVA was used to compare mean
difference within both the OFRDF and control groups and to compare between
groups.
Results: A 3 (time) x 2 (group) mixed-model ANOVA demonstrated that both techniques
shown to significantly decrease PKE angle on both sides, increase CVA and SR when
compared between the third and initial intervention. However, all outcomes exhibited
non-significant differences when compared between groups.
Conclusion: OFRDF and passive static stretching of the hamstrings can both similarly
improve SBL flexibility. |
