Randomized Controlled TrialImmediate effects of hamstring muscle stretching on pressure pain sensitivity and active mouth opening in healthy subjects.
This study analyzed the immediate effect of hamstring muscle stretching on pressure pain sensitivity over the masseter and the upper trapezius muscles and maximum active mouth opening in healthy subjects. ⋯ The application of a stretching of the hamstring musculature produced an immediate increase in PPTs over both masseter and upper trapezius muscles in healthy subjects.
