Article Synopsis
- Hamstring tightness is common in college students (ages 18-25), which can lead to injuries and decreased performance; myofascial release and neurodynamic sliding technique are two treatments explored to improve flexibility.
- The study involved 70 participants with hamstring tightness, divided into two groups—Group A received neurodynamic sliding treatment, while Group B practiced self-myofascial release, both over two months.
- Results showed that both techniques significantly improved hamstring flexibility, but neurodynamic sliding was more effective, suggesting its potential for clinical use; more research is needed to confirm these findings.
Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is the most inherited form of peripheral neuropathy. This condition is also known as hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy (HMSN), which is a slowly progressive neuropathy affecting peripheral nerves and causes sensory loss, weakness and muscle wasting. This primarily involves distal muscles of feet, lower legs, hands and forearm.
