| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 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. | — |
