Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Massage group
The deep massage will be applied for three minutes in the ischiotíbial muscles, only in the left limb, towards the muscular fibers. The volunteers will be placed in a ventral decubitus position on the stretcher.
Straight Leg Raise
The assessment of the flexibility of the hamstring will be realized through the test of straight leg raise (SLR). The SLR is a passive test performed unilaterally.
Ventosa therapy group
The negative pressure ventosa therapy slide winds will be applied for three minutes in the oval direction in the posterior region of the thigh to contemplate the full extent of the ischiotíbial muscles, only in the left limb. The volunteers will be placed in a ventral decubitus position on the stretcher.
Straight Leg Raise
The assessment of the flexibility of the hamstring will be realized through the test of straight leg raise (SLR). The SLR is a passive test performed unilaterally.
Foam roller group
The foam roller is a self-applied intervention for three minutes where the volunteers will be positioned on bench press on the floor of the room, with the left thigh posteriorly on the foam roller and the leg extended, the right lower limb will be in flexion of hip and knee, only the right foot and the right and left hands will touch the ground. Volunteers will be instructed to move so that they move forward and backward, causing the roller to travel the full length of the hamstring muscles.
Straight Leg Raise
The assessment of the flexibility of the hamstring will be realized through the test of straight leg raise (SLR). The SLR is a passive test performed unilaterally.
Lumbar mobilization group
Unilateral lumbar mobilization of grade III at the frequency of 2Hz at the joint L4 / L5 of the ipsilateral side of the limb tested. The frequency was guaranteed by a metronome set at 120 beats per minute. Three sets of 1 minute of mobilization were performed with a 30 second interval, totaling a time of 4 minutes and 30 seconds of intervention. The technique was performed with the patient in the ventral decubitus position.
Straight Leg Raise
The assessment of the flexibility of the hamstring will be realized through the test of straight leg raise (SLR). The SLR is a passive test performed unilaterally.
Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation group
Patient in dorsal decubitus, the examiner lifted the participant's leg up to the referred maximum amplitude. He then asked the patient for an isometric contraction of the hamstring muscles against the researcher's resistance for 10 seconds. After contraction, the researcher asked the patient to relax for 10 seconds. Then the member is repositioned passively by the researcher until the new amplitude limit reached. The technique was performed in 2 sets of 4 repetitions with an interval of 1 minute, totaling in an approximate time of 4 minutes of intervention.
Straight Leg Raise
The assessment of the flexibility of the hamstring will be realized through the test of straight leg raise (SLR). The SLR is a passive test performed unilaterally.
Control group
The patient remained lying down in the ventral position for 4 minutes. the patient remained lying down in the ventral position for 4 minutes.
