Key Finding
This study demonstrates excellent reliability of the EasyAngle® device for measuring passive straight leg raise.
Abstract
This study demonstrates excellent reliability of the EasyAngle® device for measuring passive straight leg raise.
The study also examined the effects of dynamic stretching on hamstring extensibility.
Methods
Reliability study with repeated measures of passive straight leg raise using EasyAngle®. Dynamic stretching intervention was applied to assess changes in hamstring flexibility.
Results
EasyAngle® showed excellent intrarater reliability (ICC = 0.96-0.98) for straight leg raise measurement. Dynamic stretching resulted in significant improvements in hamstring extensibility (p < 0.001).
Conclusion
EasyAngle® is a reliable tool for measuring passive straight leg raise, making it suitable for assessing hamstring flexibility and monitoring stretching interventions.
