Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Placebo Comparator: Control Group
After completing an individual questionnaire and giving informed consent, a placebo technique was performed, consisting only of contact in the area of the participant's shoulders.
|
The participant was in a supine position, with her upper limbs at her sides and her neck in a neutral position. The researcher sat in a cephalic position, making contact with the participant's shoulders, without any movement, until 5 minutes had elapsed. |
Experimental: Experimental group MET
After completing an individual questionnaire and giving informed consent, the muscle energy technique was performed on the dominant hamstring muscle.
|
The participant was in a supine position, with her upper limbs alongside her body and her neck in a neutral position. The researcher adopted a position homolateral to the dominant limb, contacting the lower limb with the caudal hand in the region of the malleoli. He then helped the participant to perform the movement, which consisted of flexing the hip and extending the knee passively until the motor barrier was reached, and instructed her to perform an isometric contraction of the hamstrings. She was asked to perform three 7-second contractions with a 2 to 3-second interval, using approximately 20% of her maximum strength, gaining a new motor barrier between each set, for a total of three sets. |
Experimental: Experimental group CV-4 and MET
After completing an individual questionnaire and giving informed consent, the 4th ventricle technique (CV-4) was performed, followed by the muscle energy technique on the dominant hamstring muscle.
|
The participant was in a supine position, with her upper limbs alongside her body and her neck in a neutral position. For CV-4, the researcher contacted the squamous portion of the occiput laterally, bringing it close to the posterior convexity of the occiput, bringing the skull into extension, changing the compression movement with decompression, until 3 minutes had elapsed. For the MET, the researcher adopted a position homolateral to the dominant limb, contacting the lower limb with the caudal hand in the region of the malleoli. She then helped the participant to perform the movement, which consisted of flexing the hip and extending the knee passively to the motor barrier, having been instructed to perform an isometric contraction of the hamstring. A total of 3 7-second contractions with a 2-3 second interval were requested, using approximately 20% of her maximum strength, and with a new motor barrier being gained between each series, for a total of 3 series. |
