Abstract
|
|
|
The Sit-and-Reach Test (SRT) is commonly used to assess flexibility of the spine
and length of the hamstring muscle. The purpose of this study describe hamstring
muscle length as reflected by used of the SRT, the Hip Joint Angle (HJA) and Back
length(from C7 to S2) in children, to examine the correlation between Back length, SRT
and HJA measurements and to examine gender differences.
The 162 subjects were participated without known musculoskeletal and neurological
impairments of their spine or lower exeremities. In the Long-sitting position, the Back
length, SRT and HJA measurements were obtained. A mean Back length value of
46.2cm, a mean SRT value of 29.4cm and a mean HJA of 77.0 degree were obtained
including all subjects. There was a strong correlation between the SRT and HJA
measurements(r=.66). There were a difference between boys and girls in Back(p=.0019)
and HJA measurements (p=0.15). The results of this study suggest that measurements
for the SRT and HJA were correlated than Back. The HJA measurements guide
treatment more effectively than do Back length and SRT measurements.
