An interventional study of Stretching of the hamstring muscles. and Neural slippage of the sciatic nerve. in Hamstring Muscles, Sciatic Nerve and Flexibility, sponsored by Universidad de Murcia. Completed at 1 site in Spain. Open to male participants aged 16 Years to 18 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-06-01.

The project consists of studying the differences between neural gliding techniques of the sciatic nerve and passive stretching of the hamstring muscles in football players.
Study of hamstring shortening in football players through passive muscle stretching and the use of the neurodynamic technique of longitudinal sliding of the sciatic nerve.
Universidad de Murcia is the lead sponsor of 77 studies on the registry; 16 are open to participants now.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Exclusion criteria:
Manual stretching of the hamstring muscles using the technique proposed by Henri Neiger.
Other: Stretching of the hamstring muscles.
Neurodynamic technique described by David Butler and Michael Shacklock.
Other: Neural slippage of the sciatic nerve.
Control group. Passive mobilisation of the upper limbs.
Other: Passive upper limb mobilisations.
Passive stretching of the hamstring muscles.
Neurodynamic technique on the sciatic nerve.
Passive mobilisations performed on the upper limbs used as a placebo.
Differences between passive stretching of the hamstring muscles and longitudinal sliding of the sciatic nerve.
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.
Time frame: One month.
