About this study

Official title: Effects of Movement Pattern Training Versus Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Training on Pain Range of Motion Flexibility and Kick Distance in Footballers With Groin Pain

Effects Of Movement Pattern Training Versus Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation On Pain Range Of Motion Flexibility and Kick Distance Among Footballers With Groin Pain.

Read the detailed description

According to the literature, due to the small number of PT studies on elite athletes (compared with the number of studies on general athletes), it is necessary to further understand whether PT can also benefit this group and accurately test the sports science equipment to facilitate the planning of accurate training courses.There is limited number of studies that have investigated comparative effects of pattern training and propiocetive neuro muscular facilitation..Also, there was no study found that Effects Of Movement Pattern Training Versus Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation On Pain Range Of Motion Flexibility and Kick Distance Among Footballers With Groin Pain.

Being tested

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. International Hip Outcome Tool

    Overall iHOT-33 and iHOT-12 scores were calculated as the mean visual analog scale score for the individual items for each questionnaire for each patient)

    Measured: 8 weeks

  2. Sit And Reach Flexibility Test.

    The sit and reach test is a common measure of flexibility, and specifically measures the flexibility of the lower back and hamstring muscles.sit and reach box (or alternatively a ruler can be used, and a step or box)

    Measured: 8 weeks

  3. Hip Rotation (Goniometer)

    Hip Internal and External Rotation Range of motions will be measured

    Measured: 8 weeks

  4. Kicking For Distance

    Measuring Tapes will be used to measure the kick distance

    Measured: 8 weeks
