“…Viscoelastic properties and stretch tolerance influence flexibility. Altered mechanosensitivity of the sciatic nerve can adversely influence stretch tolerance, causing reduced hamstring flexibility ( 11 , 22 , 40 , 36 ). Neurodynamic exercises have been shown to improve hamstring flexibility.…”

Breast cancer is the commonest cancer among people in Sri Lanka and as well as globally. The most accessible, inexpensive, and effortless method to detect early signs of breast cancer is Breast Self-Examination (BSE). Although data revealing the knowledge, attitude, and practice of BSE on regional and global levels have become more available in recent years, the extent of knowledge, attitude, and practice of BSE among Sri Lankan teachers have not been well studied. The lack of knowledge limits the ability of public officials, health providers, and researchers to adequately address and take remedial measures to this significant health crisis. The objectives of this study were to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice levels of BSE and to identify the association between participants' characteristics with the knowledge level.A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with the use of a pre-tested self-administered online questionnaire. Using Lwanga-Lemeshow equation, the sample size was calculated. A total of 275 female teachers from the government schools in the Kandy education zone, Gangawata Korale Division were assessed. Statistical analysis was done by the SPSS version 26. The data were interpreted by calculating the frequencies, and non-parametric independent sample tests were used accordingly.The study included 275 participants. Knowledge and attitudes regarding BSE of the participants were significantly associated with participants' ethnicity, religion, teaching subject/subject stream, residential area, and having a family history of breast cancer. Only one-third of the study participants had a good knowledge regarding BSE. The majority had a good attitude regarding BSE. Even though more than 90% of the study participants had heard about BSE, only 40.7% had practiced it. Though the knowledge level of the participants' regarding BSE is sufficient, there is a lack of practice among them. According to the total score given for the practice of BSE, 43.7% of the participants had good practice while a majority of 56.3% had a poor practice of BSE.Enabling education of teachers regarding breast cancer and screening in general, breast cancer complications, severity, and early detection strategies should be a priority in current efforts towards the establishment of lifelong habits like practicing BSE routinely.

“…The hamstring muscles are prone to small injuries, especially during vigorous eccentric loads, which gradually decrease stretch tolerance. If left unchecked, this can increase the risk of hamstring strain injuries, causing pain and decreasing the flexibility of the hamstring muscles (Ragia et al, 2021). Mechanosensitivity, the sensitivity of the nerves to movement, can contribute to the pain during movement or changes in body position.…”

“…The neurodynamc sliding technique reduces pain and inflammation by reducing increased endoneurial fluid pressure. It can increase local breakdown of inflammatory products in and around nerves and reduce antidromic impulses generated in C fibers at dysfunctional sites, resulting in the release of neuropeptides and reduced inflammation in the tissues supplied by nerves (Ragia et al, 2021). An increase in tissue temperature also occurs in a stretched muscle.…”

Short hamstring syndrome is a condition caused by a reduction of the length of hamstring muscles causing muscle tension, muscle strain, and limitations in movement and function. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of the neurodynamic sciatic nerve sliders technique with passive stretching on reducing pain and increasing flexibility of the hamstring muscles in tailors with short hamstring syndrome. This study was an experimental study with pre-test and post-test two group design. The study sample consisted of 22 people given the neurodynamic sciatic nerve sliders technique intervention, for group 1, and passive stretching, for group 2. Pain was measured using a visual analogue scale (VAS), while hamstring muscle flexibility was tested by active knee extension (AKE) measured before and after intervention. Data analysis used paired sample t-test and independent sample t-test. The Paired Sample T-test for pain data of Group 1 obtained p = 0.000 (p 0.05), while the result of Group 2 was p = 0.000 (p 0.05). For the flexibility data of the hamstring muscles, group 1 obtained p = 0.000 (p 0.05) and group 2 obtained p = 0.000 (p 0.05). Independent Samples T-test for pain obtained an average score after treatment of 1.48 ± 1.10 for group 1 and 2.37 ± 0.76 for group 2 with a value of p = 0.039 (p 0.05). For flexibility data, the mean after treatment was 165.00 ± 4.05 for group 1 and 155.00 ± 8.33 for group 2 with a value of p = 0.002 (p 0.05). From these results, neurodynamic sciatic nerve sliders technique and passive stretching can reduce pain and increase hamstring muscle flexibility in tailors with short hamstring syndrome.

“…1 Flexibility is important factor which enables smooth movement. 2 Limited flexibility impairs normal dynamic balance and function, which thereby results in musculoskeletal impairment, pain and decreased physical performance mainly due to overus. 3 When an individual is unable to extend the knee fully with hip 90 degree flexed associated with discomfort or pain over the posterior compartment of thigh indicates tightness in the hamstring muscle.…”

Background: Inadequate hamstring muscle flexibility leads to impaired balance in healthy individuals. So, the present study is conducted to evaluate the immediate effect of neurodynamic slider and tensioner technique on hamstring muscle flexibility and balance in healthy individuals. Method: Total 42 healthy individuals both male and female age between 18-26 with AKE <70 degree participated in the study. 42 individuals were randomly assigned in two groups. Group A received neurodynamic slider technique followed by group B received tensioner technique. AKE angle was immediately examined before and after the intervention to evaluate hamstring flexibility. Results: Results is concluded that both slider and tensioner technique are equally effective to improve hamstring muscle flexibility (p<0.05) and balance in healthy individuals within the group but. As the findings of between the group shows that both the techniques are equally effective not superior on one another (p>0.05). Conclusions: This study concludes that both the neural slider and tensioner techniques were equally effective in immediately increasing the hamstring flexibility and dynamic postural balance in healthy individuals.
