Objective To investigate the added benefit of nerve-biased interventions over static stretching in hamstring flexibility and to compare the effectiveness of two types of nerve-biased interventions over a week. Design Three-arm assessor-blinded randomized controlled trial. Setting University Laboratory. Participants Sixty healthy individuals (mean age = 22 + 2.4 years) with reduced hamstring flexibility were randomized to three groups who received static stretching and neurodynamic sliders (NS-SS); static stretching with neurodynamic tensioner (NT-SS) and static stretching (SS) alone. Outcome measure Knee extension angle (KEA) in degrees. Results Baseline characteristics including demographic, anthropomorphic and KEA between groups were comparable. A significant interaction was observed between group (intervention) and time, [F (2,114) = 3.595; p = 0.031]. Post-hoc pairwise comparisons analyses revealed significant differences at post-intervention measurement time point between NS-SS and SS (mean difference: −6.8; 95%CI = −12, −1.5; p = 0.011) and NT-SS and SS (mean difference: −11.6; 95%CI = −16.7, −6.3; p Conclusions Neural sliders and tensioners are both effective in increasing hamstring flexibility as an adjunct to static hamstring stretching when compared to static stretching alone. No neural mobilization technique proved to be superior over another. |
