What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Differences between passive stretching of the hamstring muscles and longitudinal sliding of the sciatic nerve.
Time Frame: One month.

The degree of elasticity of the hamstring musculature will be measured using the Goniometer by placing the hip in 90 degrees flexion and measuring the extension in degrees of the knee.

A pre-test and post-test measurement will be taken.
One month.
