The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of the use of a vapocoolant blend of pentafluoropropane and tetrafluoroethane (Gebauer's Spray and Stretch) on hip flexion stretching.
Thirty volunteers were randomly assigned to spray and stretch treatment and stretch only control groups. Each group was assessed pre- and posttest on passive and active hip flexion range of motion (ROM).
Findings indicated greater posttest hip flexion gains for the spray and stretch group over the stretch only group for both active and passive ROM. Additionally, females achieved greater pre- and posttest differences on active ROM compared to males.
Study findings suggest that spray and stretch techniques can be an effective treatment in increasing hip flexion ROM.
本研究旨在探讨使用五氟丙烷和四氟乙烷的汽化冷却剂混合物（盖鲍尔喷雾拉伸剂）对髋关节屈曲拉伸的影响。
30名志愿者被随机分为喷雾拉伸治疗组和仅拉伸对照组。每组在被动和主动髋关节屈曲活动范围（ROM）测试前和测试后进行评估。
结果表明，在主动和被动ROM方面，喷雾拉伸组在测试后的髋关节屈曲增加幅度均大于仅拉伸组。此外，与男性相比，女性在主动ROM方面的测试前和测试后差异更大。
研究结果表明，喷雾拉伸技术可能是增加髋关节屈曲ROM的有效治疗方法。
