Comparing the Impacts of Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) and Dry Needling on Pain and Functional Status in Patients with Hamstring Tightness
Background & Objective: Hamstring tightness is one of the most critical muscle group deficits disrupting normal gait cycle kinematics and predisposing athletes to recurrent hamstring tears. This comparative clinical study evaluates the efficacy of IASTM versus trigger point dry needling in restoring muscle elasticity, reducing visual analogue scale (VAS) pain scores, and improving lower extremity functional independence.

Background & Objective: Cerebral Palsy (CP) presents unique movement coordination and motor control challenges. Spastic diplegic CP significantly affects lower extremity selective motor control (SMC) and balance. This study explores the specific correlation between body composition (skinfold thickness) and lower limb selective motor control to aid pediatric physical therapists in formulating targeted rehabilitation protocols.
