N/A Patients with tight hamstring muscle problem. Intervention group: Under the supervision of a respected specialist in physical medicine and rehabilitation, for three months, three times a week, patients undergo exercise treatments, including strengthening and stretching exercises for the hamstring muscles. The stretching part of the exercises focuses on static stretching (passive single leg raise, Hurdler stretch and knee to chest), while the strengthening part includes exercises such as wall squat, bridge and lunge.. Yes - There is a plan to make this available What will be shared: Only part of the data such as information about the main outcome or the like can be shared. When: After printing the results as an article To whom: Researchers working in academic institutions Conditions: For further research purposes and analysis Where to obtain: In order to receive the data, it is necessary to refer to the scientific accountant or the corresponding author of the article How to obtain: An official letter or e-mail Comments:

The stretching part of the exercises focuses on static stretching (passive single leg raise, Hurdler stretch and knee to chest), while the strengthening part includes exercises such as wall squat, bridge and lunge. Range of motion is measured using a goniometer, and muscle strength is evaluated using a hand-held dynamometer. Functional outcomes reported by participants will also be assessed using the Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS). Timepoint: Sonoelastography is used to evaluate hamstring muscle stiffness at the beginning, 4 weeks and 12 weeks. Method of measurement: Findings The participant lies on his stomach and his knee is bent to 90 degrees and the ultrasound probe is placed longitudinally on the hamstring muscles. Shear elastic modulus of ST, SM and BF muscles in dominant leg using ultrasound shear waves with Aixplorer device; SuperSonic Imagine is measured. Measurement sites were defined as the midpoint of the femur from the greater trochanter to the medial epicondyle for the ST and SM muscles, and to the lateral epicondyle of the femur for the BF muscle. These anatomical points are confirmed by palpation and B-mode images. An ultrasound transducer was placed at the measurement sites, parallel to the direction of the muscle fibers as determined by tracking multiple fascicles without interruption across the B-mode image. For each muscle, images were taken after the transducer was held at the measurement site for approximately 5 seconds until To confirm that the shear elastic modulus in the desired area of color distribution shows stability. Measurements will be performed twice for each muscle and the average values will be used for statistical analysis. The target region is set near the center of the muscle bulk image, and the average shear wave propagation speed (m/s) of a circle with a diameter of 11 mm, which is set near the center of the target region, will be automatically calculated.
