Hip abduction versus adduction during neurodynamic flossing
Official title: The Acute Effects of Neurodynamic Stretching on the Shear Wave Velocity: the Effects of Hip Adduction and Abduction
Run by University of Burgundy · NCT07350434 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This test will compare whether neurodynamic flossing with the hip in abduction or adduction produces different immediate effects on the sciatic nerve and hamstring tissues in healthy active adults.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are physically active, healthy adults with no lower-limb or back pain in the past three months and no specific hamstring injuries in the past two years.
✕Probably not a fit
People with current lower-limb or back pain, recent hamstring injuries, or those seeking treatment for nerve disease are unlikely to gain direct benefit since the study focuses on immediate tissue effects in healthy participants.

What this trial studies
This interventional study applies maximal neurodynamic flossing with the hip positioned either in adduction or abduction and measures immediate tissue responses. Participants are healthy, physically active adults without recent lower-limb or back injuries who perform the two flossing positions. Outcomes are measured using shear wave elastography (SWE) of the sciatic nerve and hamstring tissues taken immediately before and after each intervention. The goal is to determine whether hip position alters nerve mobility or tissue stiffness in a way that could inform rehabilitation or athletic practice.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the results could help clinicians and trainers select hip positions that better improve nerve mobility or muscle flexibility during neurodynamic techniques for active people.
How similar studies have gone: Neurodynamic techniques have shown some ability to alter nerve mobility and symptoms in prior research, but results are mixed and no previous study has directly compared hip adduction versus abduction with SWE.
