The effects of gluteal stretching vs . Lightback® on hip rotation range of motion and posterior chain flexibility in healthy subjects: A cross-over clinical trial.

Static stretching was commonly used to improve hip ROM. The Lightback system, a novel compression device, has been developed to enhance hip mobility by applying controlled axial forces on the femur. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Lightback system in improving hip ROM and posterior chain flexibility compared to conventional static stretching.engAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/The effects of gluteal stretching vs. Lightback on hip rotation range of motion and posterior chain flexibility in healthy subjects: a cross-over clinical trialjournal article10.7717/peerj.18523open accessPersonal paramédicoTratamiento médicoRehabilitación médicaGoal 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages
