The effects of intermittent stretching following a 4-week static stretching protocol: a randomized trial.

Stretching is performed in rehabilitation and sports conditioning programs. It is not known how often during a week stretching needs to be performed to maintain flexibility. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the influence of intermittent stretching (i.

Effect of a modified, low-dye medial longitudinal arch taping procedure on the subtalar joint neutral position before and after light exercise.

Study Design: Single-group repeated measures design pre- and postintervention.

Objectives: To determine if the modified low-Dye medial longitudinal arch (MLA) taping procedure places the subtalar joint into the neutral position and maintains the subtalar joint neutral (STJN) position following 10 minutes of walking.

Background: Subtalar malalignment in excessive pronation is commonly accepted as a contributing factor to a variety of musculoskeletal pathologies.
