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. PeerJ, 13, e18523. https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.185232167-8359https://hdl.handle.net/11268/16880Hip range of motion (ROM) across various planes is necessary in sport-related activities. 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/journal article10.7717/peerj.18523open accessPersonal paramédicoTratamiento médicoRehabilitación médicaGoal 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages
