Spinal epidural hematoma after stretch exercise: a case report.

30 Aug 2009 Spinal epidural hematoma (SEH) is a rare but serious condition. Common causes of SEH include spinal fracture, spinal trauma, and invasive spinal procedures such as lumbar puncture, epidural anesthesia, or myelography. A few previous reports have ... Read more...

Stretch exercises increase tolerance to stretch in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain: a randomized controlled trial.

18 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Stretch is commonly prescribed as part of physical rehabilitation in pain management programs, yet little is known about its effectiveness. OBJECTIVE: A randomized controlled trial was conducted to investigate the effects of a 3-week ... Read more...

A comparison of post-match recovery strategies in youth soccer players.

30 Jul 2009 The aim of this study was to determine the effect of 3 post-match recovery modalities on physical performance, physiological measures, and players' perceptions of recovery after 90-minute soccer match play. On separate days, 28 young (age: 14.3 +/- ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Muscle Stretching Exercises'

Definition: Exercises that stretch the muscle fibers with the aim to increase muscle-tendon FLEXIBILITY, improve RANGE OF MOTION or musculoskeletal function, and prevent injuries. There are various types of stretching techniques including active, passive (relaxed), static, dynamic (gentle), ballistic (forced), isometric, and others.
