成人における大腿直筋とハムストリングスの伸張度について

抄録

Extensibility of the rectus femoris and hamstrings muscles in 1788 healthy adult (946 males and 842 females) was measured and the results were statistically analysed.
Extensibility of the rectus femoris (the average angle of the buttock elevation phenomen) in males was 123.9°±17.01° on the right leg and 122.2°±19.77° on the left leg. In females was 135.9°±9.42° on the right leg and 135.5°±11.01° on the left leg.
Extensibility of the hamstrings muscle (the average angle of the straight leg raising test) in males was 78.7°±9.70° on the right leg and 79.0°±9.94° on the left leg. In females was 85.7°±8.48° on the right leg and 87.3°±8.38° on the left leg.
Both muscle extensibility in females was higher than in males. Also, there was a high correlation between the right leg and the left leg.
