A comparison of the effect of muscle energy technique (Chaitow method) and passive stretching on hanstring extensibility
… the Chaitow Muscle Energy Technique (MET), with passive stretching for increasing hamstring muscle extensibility both immediately and after 30 minutes. Fifty nine asymptomatic participants were measured for hamstring length using active knee extension (AKE). AKE was recorded using digital …

A comparison of the effect of muscle energy technique (Greenman method) and passive stretching on hamstring extensibility
… of 3.55 degrees in the MET group, whereas passive stretching produced a mean increase of 2.79 degrees. Upon analysis of the data using a SPANOVA, a significant change over time in the AKE values was found, however, there were no significant differences between the the two groups over time. …

A comparison of the immediate and lasting effects between passive stretch and muscle energy technique on hamstring muscle extensibility
Muscle energy technique (MET) and passive stretching are two manual techniques commonly used by manual therapists to increase the extensibility of muscles. This study examined the effect of both techniques to produce lasting increased hamstring muscle extensibility. 162 asymptomatic volunteers were …

EFFECTS OF PASSIVE STATIC STRETCHING ON MECHANICAL, NEUROMUSCULAR, AND CARDIOVASCULAR FUNCTION
Passive static stretching (PSS) induces neuromuscular and vascular adaptations through both mechanical and neural mechanisms, influencing range of motion, muscle strength, and vascular health. While previous research has primarily focused on individual muscles or muscle chains, the regional …

Muscle responses to stretching and developing effective interventions in children with cerebral palsy
… treated by physiotherapy interventions such as stretching exercises. However, the effectiveness of these interventions in terms of improvements in function is of a low magnitude and the response of spastic muscles to stretch is poorly understood. Therefore, the main aim of the programme of work …

Impact of static stretch and muscular contractions on force production within the human triceps surae muscle-tendon complex
Pre-performance routines commonly include stretching and intense muscular contractions in an attempt to optimise muscular performance and reduce injury risk. However, the isolated and combined effects of stretching and muscle contractions on neuromuscular performance are not well described. The …
