“…In Shere's study, which was conducted to investigate the long-term effect of a foam roller on the flexibility of the hamstring muscle, the results indicated a significant effect of using the self-myofascial release technique on the flexibility of the hamstring muscle (10). Additionally, in the study of Patel et al, it was observed that using a foam roller can instantly increase the flexibility of the hamstring muscle (29).…”

Background: The iliotibial band (ITB) is prone to shortening in sports activities. Correcting the lack of flexibility can be a factor in improving the overall biomechanics of the body and preventing future injuries. Methods: A total of 51 semi-elite athletes (age range: 20 - 40 years) with ITB shortness confirmed by the modified Ober’s test participated in this study. The participants were randomly divided into three groups, including foam roller, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) active stretching, and a combination of foam roller and PNF stretching. Results: The mean of the active hip adduction range of motion (ROM), single-leg hop test, lateral hop test, and vertical jump in all three groups increased significantly after the intervention compared to before (P < 0.05). All three studied groups had similar changes over time, and no group was superior to the others. Conclusions: Using a foam roller, PNF active stretching technique, and a combination of both can improve hip ROM in patients with ITB shortness. As a result, the functional activities of athletes, including vertical jump, lateral hop, and single-leg hop, can be improved. Flexibility and ROM increased significantly in all three treatment groups. There is no priority between different interventions.

Background: Hamstring Strain is common among athletes which lead to development of injury. Superficial Backline stretching for improving range of motion and flexibility. Using Tennis ball is a form of self-myofascial release results in increasing range of motion. Literature lacks studies done on self- myofascial release and superficial backline stretching. Hence my intention towards this study in comparison to find out the effect of Self Myofascial Release using tennis ball and superficial backline stretching on hamstring strain in cricket players. Methodology: A total of 24 subjects who were between the age group of 15 -19 years were conveniently allocated based on the inclusion criteria. Subjects received self-myofascial release using tennis ball 60 sec with 3-4 repetitions and 1 min interval of rest between sessions and superficial backline stretching with different poses for 2-3 repetitions and then compared FMS score of all subjects pre and post intervention after giving the superficial backline stretches and myofascial release to all the subjects. Outcome measure: Functional movement screen (FMS) Results: The result shows that there is a significant difference in pre and post Score of FMS, pre-FMS score is 15.9167Â±2.60295 and post score increased to 19.2500Â±1.59483which shows thatthere is statistical and clinical difference between the pre and post intervention. Functional movement is measured as the primary outcome measure.There is an average improvement of 3.333 with t value 12.487 and p <0.05. Conclusion: The aim of the study was to compare and find out the effect of Self Myofascial Release using tennis ball and superficial backline stretching on hamstring strain in cricket players., the result showed that there is statistically significant self-myofascial release using tennis ball and superficial backline stretching.

Effectiveness of physiotherapy interventions for injury in ballet dancers: A systematic review

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background The unique repetitive nature of ballet dancing, which often involves transgressing endurance limits of anatomical structures, makes dancers prone to injury. The following systematic review aims to assess the effectiveness of physiotherapy interventions in the treatment of injuries in ballet dancers. Methods The review was performed in line with the PRISMA statement on preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Six electronic databases (PubMed, Ovid Embase, Cochrane, Medline, PEDro, Google Scholar) were queried. The study populations comprised active ballet dancers and/or ballet school attendees with acute and chronic injuries and those with persistent pain. There were no restrictions regarding age, sex, ethnicity or nationality. The Modified McMaster Critical Review Form for quantitative studies was used to assess the methodological quality of the studies reviewed in accordance with the relevant guidelines. Results Out of the total of 687 articles subjected to the review, 10 met the inclusion criteria. Diverse physiotherapeutic interventions were described and effectiveness was assessed using different parameters and measurements. Overall, the results indicate that physiotherapy interventions in ballet dancers exert a positive effect on a number of indices, including pain, ROM and functional status. Conclusions Due to the small amount of evidence confirming the effectiveness of physiotherapeutic interventions in ballet dancers after injuries and methodological uncertainties, it is recommended to improve the quality of prospective studies.
