Background
Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) is a new technique that has been known to be effective in reducing muscle tightness in athletics. However, little is known about its effect on the range of motion, muscle power, and torque compared to manual stretching among non-athletics. Thus, the study was aimed to compare the effectiveness between IASTM and manual stretching in improving hip flexion active range of motion (ROM), muscle torque and power on hamstring muscle complex (HMC) tightness in one session. Method Twenty-three young male college students with unilateral hamstring tightness measured via straight leg raising (SLR) test ( Results There was no significant difference in the improvement of hip flexion active ROM (69.6 ± 6.6 vs 72.5 ± 7.9, p = .34), HMC torque (63.7 ± 14.5 vs 53.2 ± 16.3, p = .14), and HMC power (47.8 ± 11.8 vs 40.9 ± 16.3, p = .34) between group 1 and group 2 respectively. When a comparison was made within each group, significant improvements in hip active flexion ROM was found in both groups (p's Conclusion The current study findings demonstrate that IASTM was as effective as manual stretching in improving hip flexion active ROM, muscle torque and power among non-athletic people with HMC tightness. |
