Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Sit and Reach Test

  The test was performed with the sit and reach test box, which is used to measure hamstring muscle group shortness. Individuals were asked to sit on a flat surface, put their hands on top of each other with their palms facing the ground, and advance the indicator in the box to the last point they could advance, and perform the test without flexing their knees. The value obtained with Scala C-AAHPERD (Centimeteres) as a result of the measurement of the sit and reach test was recorded in the files of the individuals. Measurements were repeated three times. The averages were calculated and recorded.

  5 minutes

• Active Straight Leg Raise Test - Goniometer

  In order to measure the hamstring muscle group shortness, individuals were asked to take the supine position on the bobath bed and raise their legs straight to the last point they could lift. physiotherapists positioned the goniometer on the pivot point, the trochanter major. Individuals were asked to keep their actively raised leg straight and not to cut off the contact of their passive leg from the bed. The goniometric measurement was repeated for both the right and left legs, and the goniometric measurement results were recorded in the files of the individuals. Measurements were repeated three times. The averages were calculated and recorded

  5 minutes

• Passive Straight Leg Raise Test - Goniometer

  In order to measure the shortness of the hamstring muscle group, the goniometric measurement was made by passively lifting the leg of the individual in the supine position of the physiotherapist and positioning the goniometer on the trochanter major, which is the pivot point. The goniometric measurement was repeated for both the right and left legs, and the goniometric measurement results were recorded in the files of the individuals. Measurements were repeated three times. The averages were calculated and recorded

• International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ-SF)

  10 minutes

Study Arms (2)

tele-rehabilitation

EXPERIMENTAL

For the tele-rehabilitation online group, hamstring stretching exercises were performed with cameras and mutually via online applications.

Behavioral: tele-rehabilitation exercise

home exercise

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The home exercise group, the exercises were conveyed in the form of a brochure, in written form, on the necessary information. It was recorded how many days the home exercise group did the exercises on a weekly basis.

Behavioral: Home exercise

Interventions

tele-rehabilitation exercise BEHAVIORAL

Telerehabilitation allows patients to interact with providers remotely and can be used both to assess patients and to deliver therapy. Treatment program planned to stretch the muscles of individuals with short hamstring muscle group. Stretching exercises for hamstring muscle group shortening were applied 4 days a week, which lasted for 8 weeks in total. For the first four weeks, 3 different stretching exercises per day were planned and performed as 10 seconds of stretching and 5 repetitions. For the last four weeks, 4 different stretching exercises were planned per day and performed with 20 seconds of stretching and 10 repetitions.

Home exercise BEHAVIORAL

All participants received home exercise for 8 weeks. The exercise program includes stretching exercises Stretching exercises for hamstring muscle group shortening were applied 4 days a week, which lasted for 8 weeks in total. For the first four weeks, 3 different stretching exercises per day were planned and performed as 10 seconds of stretching and 5 repetitions. For the last four weeks, 4 different stretching exercises were planned per day and performed with 20 seconds of stretching and 10 repetitions.
