Key Finding
This study found that the EMMETT manual therapy technique significantly increased iliotibial band flexibility in young male footballers, as measured with EasyAngle®.
Abstract
This study evaluated the effectiveness of the EMMETT manual therapy technique on iliotibial band flexibility in young male footballers.
The study used EasyAngle® to measure changes in flexibility before and after EMMETT technique application.
Methods
Randomized controlled trial with male footballers. Iliotibial band flexibility was measured using EasyAngle® before and after EMMETT technique intervention.
Results
The EMMETT technique group showed significant improvement in iliotibial band flexibility (p < 0.001) compared to the control group, as measured by EasyAngle®.
Conclusion
The EMMETT manual therapy technique significantly increases iliotibial band flexibility in young male footballers. EasyAngle® proved to be a reliable measurement tool for this application.
