BACKGROUND: Hamstring flexibility plays a significant role in physiotherapy. Various stretching studies have been conducted to increase hamstring flexibility, but the effects of the Fascial Distortion Model (FDM) on hamstring flexibility have not yet been investigated. Moreover, no studies have compared the effects of FDM and static stretching. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effects of the FDM on hamstring flexibility compared with static stretching. METHODS: Thirthy healthy adults were divided into two groups: static stretching and FDM groups. Static stretching was performed to hamstring in the supine position. The FDM was performed using trigger band techniques that followed the hamstring in a longitudinal direction. Hamstring flexibility was measured using the active knee extension angle (KEA), passive straight leg raising (SLR), sit-and-reach (SR), and finger-floor distance (FFD) tests. A paired t-test and an independent t-test were performed to compare the hamstring flexibility measurements. RESULTS: Both groups showed significant differences (p< 0.05) in KEA, SLR, SR, and FFD before and after. However, no significant difference (p> 0.05) was found between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS: There was no difference in the effects of FDM and static stretching on hamstring flexibility.

AbstractObjectivesObjective of the study is to investigate whether Soft tissue mobilization (STM) can assist with static stretching to improve hamstring flexibly.MethodsThe design of the study was repeated measure design. The study was conducted at the physical therapy laboratory of Jamia Hamdard University, New Delhi. Participants included 78 healthy males with hamstring tightness, randomly assigned to either the control group (static stretching) or the experimental group (STM and static stretching). The experimental group received five sets of four different STM techniques, followed by two sets of 30-s static stretches 3 days per week over the course of 12 weeks. The control group received 5 min of sham ultrasound with an inactive probe prior to static stretching. Active knee extension test (AKE) was the outcome measure.ResultsBoth groups showed significant improvement in AKE compared with the baseline measurements. With ingroup analysis showed a significant difference in AKE across all measured time periods (weeks 4, 8, and 12) with pre-test in both groups (p<0.05). No significant difference in AKE improvement was found between groups (p>0.05).ConclusionThe results of this study show that STM prior to static stretching does not significantly improve hamstring flexibility among healthy individuals. Although this study cannot be generalized, the results may be useful for evidence-based practice in the management of hamstring tightness.

Abstract: Baby growth can be hampered if only given breast milk without getting breast milk supplementary food (MPASI) after the age of 6 months, because nutrients are not fulfilled for growth and development. However, if MPASI is given early it can cause negative problems in infants such as allergies and digestive disorders. One of the causes of malnutrition is due to the lack of knowledge of mothers about giving complementary feeding to infants. So that the mother provides complementary feeding at an earlier age and the type of food that is not suitable for the baby's age. This study aims to determine the differences in knowledge about complementary foods in mothers with underweight children aged 6-24 months before and after getting counseling in Mudung Village, Kepohbaru Bojonegoro Subdistrict. This study uses the pre-experimental method with the type of research using the one group pre test post test design. The sample in this study used a total sampling of 13 people. The data collection method used is a knowledge questionnaire. Data analysis was done by paired t test. Based on the results of the statistical test with paired t test obtained p value of (0.047) where the value of p value <0.05. Based on the results of the study it can be concluded that there is a significant difference between mother's knowledge about MP ASI to children aged 6-24 months before and after getting counseling. It is expected that mothers can apply complementary feeding behavior to infants aged 6-24 months correctly and accordingly in order to improve the nutritional status of infants and follow-up health workers to further improve health counseling to further improve health counseling about complementary foods.Keyword: counseling,complementary feeding, knowledgeAbstrak: Pertumbuhan bayi dapat terhambat apabila hanya diberi Air Susu Ibu (ASI) saja tanpa mendapat Makanan Pendamping Air Susu Ibu (MPASI) setelah berusia 6 bulan, karena tidak terpenuhinya zat gizi untuk pertumbuhan dan perkembangan. Namun, apabila MPASI diberikan secara dini dapat menimbulkan masalah negatif pada bayi seperti alergi dan gangguan pencernaan. Salah satu penyebab masalah gizi kurang karena tingkat pengetahuan ibu yang kurang tentang pemberian MPASI pada bayi. Sehingga ibu memberikan MPASI pada usia lebih dini dan jenis makanan MPASI yang tidak sesuai dengan usia bayi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbedaan pengetahuan tentang makanan pendamping asi pada ibu dengan balita gizi kurang usia 6-24 bulan sebelum dan sesudah mendapatkan penyuluhan di Desa Mudung Kecamatan Kepohbaru Bojonegoro. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode pre-eksperimental dengan jenis penelitian menggunakan rancangan one grup pre test post test. Sampel dalam penelitian ini menggunakan total sampling sebanyak 13 orang. Metode pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah kuesioner pengetahuan. Analisis data dilakukan dengan paired t test. Berdasarkan hasil dari uji statistik dengan paires t test diperoleh p value sebesar (0.047) dimana nilai p value < 0,05. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan antara pengetahuan ibu tentang MP ASI kepada balita usia 6-24 bulan sebelum dan sesudah mendapatkan penyuluhan.
