C.V.A and Calcanium Eversion with Hamstring Tightness ?A Correlative Study

Muscle strain injuries are common, yet the mechanisms of injury remain vaguely defined. The hamstring muscle group is one of the most complex sets of muscles in the body and these muscles are highly abused. One factor that makes hamstring muscle so susceptible to injury is their anatomical arrangement being a biarticular muscle group means that they may be subjected to large length changes. There are number of clinically useful sets of myofascial chain. The suboccipital muscle, hamstring and calf muscle are included in same superficial back line so. addressing any of the structure in the chain may have positive effect of the entire line itself. This study tries to find out a correlation between hamstring tightness, C.V.A and Calcanium Eversion which are influnced by the muscles in the same superficial back line. Present study included 60 subjects who were divided into three groups according to their hamstring tightness. C.V.A and Calcanium eversion was calculated for each subject in a single session. Correlation was calculated by pearson correlation test. Finding of the present study showed that there is a positive correlation between hamstring tightness and Calcanium eversion and a negative correlation between hamstring tightness and C.V.A.
