Authors | Initial Sample (Women) | Intervention | Outcome Measures | Results | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Experimental Group | Control Group | ||||
Aparicio et al. (2009) [37] | n = 70 (33%) | Suboccipital inhibition technique | Placebo | SLR; AKE; FFD; Algometry | EG obtained significant changes compared to CG for popliteal angle, SLR, FFD, and in the algometry of the right SM. No significant differences were obtained for the algometry of ST, BF, or left SM. |
Azizi et al. (2021) [38] | n = 56 (100%) | Post-isometric relaxation technique (Lewit method) | Whole-body vibration | AKE; SR | EG and CG improved significantly in all tests. There was no significant difference between groups. |
Chesterton et al. (2018) [35] | n = 20 (45%) | G1: central PA L5 mobilisation; G2: unilateral PA zygapophyseal L4/L5 mobilisation ipsilateral to the dominant limb | Placebo | AKE; ALF; EMG | EMG was lower and AKE and ALF values were higher after G1 and G2 treatments. EMG measures were lower, and AKE values were higher, after G2 treatment versus G1 treatment. |
Chesterton et al. (2019) [40] | n = 24 (42%) | Unilateral PA zygapophyseal L4/L5 mobilisation ipsilateral to the dominant limb | No intervention | AKE; ALF | EG had a moderate effect on AKE and a moderate effect on ALF. AKE improvement became very small at 20 min after treatment and trivial after 60 min. For ALF, it became very small after 15 min and trivial after 25 min and 60 min. |
Chesterton and Payton (2017) [34] | n = 38 (NP) | Central PA lumbar mobilisation to the L4 and L5 segments | Placebo | AKE; ALF; EMG | EG showed significant improvements in ALF and AKE. |
EMG activation of the ES and BF during lumbar flexion was reduced. | |||||
Joshi et al. (2018) [39] | n = 48 (67%) | Suboccipital inhibition + bilateral myofascial release in plantar fascia by therapist G1: by therapist; G2: self-applied | Bilateral passive hamstring stretch | AKE; SR | Hamstring flexibility improved in all three groups (pre- to post-intervention). CG showed additional benefits. |
Khan et al. (2021) [41] | n = 60 (58%) | Post-isometric relaxation on the hamstring of dominant side | Active release technique on the hamstring of dominant side | SLR; AKE | EG and CG showed significant difference pre- to post-intervention. CG treatment was statistically significantly more effective than EG treatment. |
Szlezak et al. (2011) [36] | n = 36 (47%) | G1: unilateral PA mobilisation from T12/L1 to L5/S1 zygapophyseal joints; G2: static stretch of the muscles of the posterior chain | Placebo | SLR | Only EG showed significant improvements in the SLR. |
