Purpose: The aim of this pilot study is to examine the acute effect of a single session EYYDM on active and passive range of motion in individuals with hamstring shortness.
Method: A total of 11 healthy young individuals over 18 years of age were included in the study. Active/passive hip joint flexion angle of the participants was evaluated with digital inclinometer. EYYDM technique was applied to the participants for 5 minutes. Measurements were made before and immediately after the application, and the results were analyzed using the SPSS program.
Results: According to the evaluation made before and after the application, a significant increase was observed in both active and passive range of motion (p<0.05).
Conclusion: As a result, Single session EYYDM application is effective in increasing active and passive range of motion in individuals with hamstring shortness.

Öz

Amaç: Bu pilot çalışmanın amacı hamstring kısalığı olan bireylerde tek seans EYYDM uygulamasının aktif ve pasif eklem hareket açıklığı üzerine akut etkisini incelemektir.
Yöntem: Çalışmamıza toplam 18 yaşından büyük 11 sağlıklı genç birey dahil edildi. Katılımcıların aktif/pasif kalça eklemi fleksiyon açısı digital inklinometre ile değerlendirildi. Katılımcılara 5 dakika süre ile EYYDM tekniği uygulandı. Ölçümler uygulama öncesinde ve uygulamadan hemen sonra yapıldı ve sonuçlar SPSS programı kullanılarak analiz edildi.
Bulgular: Uygulama öncesi ve uygulama sonrası yapılan değerlendirmeye göre hem aktif hem de pasif eklem hareket açıklığında belirgin artış gözlendi (p<0,05).
Sonuç: Hamstring kısalığı olan bireylerde tek seans EYYDM uygulaması aktif ve pasif eklem hareket açıklığını artırmada etkilidir.
