“…Isostretching promoted changes in the flexibility and muscle strength of healthy individuals after 12 weeks of training. Other studies corroborate the positive findings obtained, like Macedo et al, 12 who reported an increase in muscle strength for the abdominals, gluteus maximus, and trunk extensors of patients with low back pain; Monte-Raso et al 13 described that the technique was efficacious in the alignment of the thoracic spine and improvement of flexibility in only one group; Wilhelms et al 14 and Hespanhol et al 3 also obtained increases in flexibility.…”

“…The flexibility test, considering only the distance between the fingers and the floor during trunk flexion, is a quick test and easy to apply in clinical practice, being a routine instrument for most physiotherapists, 16 although it misses clarifying elements of the flexibility modification process, which are obtained from postural analysis during the performing of the test. Monte-Raso et al 13 and Borghi et al 16 used photographic analysis and evaluation of curvatures to observe post-intervention postures, however, the analysis of posture during the test, as proposed in the present study, enriches the finger-floor test with specific information referring to the flexibility modification process.…”

“…This difference may be explained by the fact that the individuals were submitted to a situation that demanded or recruited more muscular involvement with a greater number of muscle groups being stretched more efficiently and contributing to the gain in joint mobility. Monte-Raso et al 13 justified that the gain in flexibility of the posterior chain may have occurred because the postures of the technique emphasized the symmetrical stretching of the posterior muscle chain and did not stretch the segments asymmetrically.…”

Objective: To evaluate effects of the isostretching exercise training on flexibility and muscle strength. Method: Thirty-one healthy subjects (27 women), aged between 18 and 28 years, divided into two groups: Group A, isostretching, which has undergone a program of exercises based on the isostretching technique, and Group B, standard, which was subjected to the same exercises using the general technical principles of traditional stretching. The training went on for 12 weeks, twice per week, one hour per session. Flexibility was evaluated through photogrammetry in pre-and post-test, evaluating the wrist-floor distance and classifying posture according to the categories of muscle shortening described by Kendall, while muscle strength was assessed using a handgrip dynamometer. Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the results for each group in the flexibility test. Analysis of clinical significance and improvement by the Reliable Change Index (RCI) showed an improvement in flexibility affecting 14 subjects from both groups. Analysis of body contour in group A showed attenuation in the curvatures of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine, as well as the hip flexion angle, and group B showed attenuation in the curvature of the cervical spine and hip flexion angle. Group A showed statistically significant differences in some specific muscle groups, but with no clinical significance. Conclusion: Both interventions affected flexibility in a statistically similar way, but had a different impact on the curvatures of the spine. Isostretching training clinically changed the flexibility of healthy individuals, with evidence that more intense or longer workouts can affect muscle strength.

“…Uma boa flexibilidade ajuda a evitar lesões, reduzir as dores musculares e aumentar o nível de eficiência em todas as atividades físicas, além de melhorar a qualidade de vida e a independência funcional (ARNAUD;CORREA, 2000). Como no presente estudo, o método Isostretching demonstrou-se efetivo para melhora da flexibilidade (LOPES et al, 2006;ARNAUD;CORREA, 2000;MONTE-RASO et al, 2009), independente da forma e da técnica de mensuração.…”

“…Bons resultados também foram demonstrados para o alinhamento da coluna vertebral (LONGATO et al, 2011;DURANTE;VASCONCELOS, 2009), porém, com melhora eficiente apenas para as alterações no plano sagital, não sendo tão eficaz no tratamento das assimetrias no plano frontal (REDONDO, 2006;MONTE-RASO et al, 2009). Outros fatores observados após a prática do método Isostretching foram a melhora na conscientização da imagem corporal, melhorando, assim, a autoestima (ARNAUD; CORREA, 2000), melhora do padrão da marcha em idosos (SANGLARD; PEREIRA, 2005) e a redução das alterações de equilíbrio em sujeitos com amputação transfemoral (LONGATO et al, 2011).…”

[Purpose] To estimate the effect of Klapp method on idiopathic scoliosis in school students. [Subjects and Methods] A single-blind randomized clinical trial with 22 students randomly divided into intervention group (n=12) and inactive control group (n=10). Exercise protocol consisted of Klapp method, 20 sessions, three times a week for intervention group, and inactivity for control group. Dorsal muscle strength was measured by dynamometer; body asymmetries and gibbosity angles were measured by biophotogrammetry. Data were obtained by Generalized Estimated Equation, with 5% significance level. Clinical impact for dependent variables was estimated by “d” Cohen. [Results] There was no change in intragroup analysis and intergroup for all postural symmetry variables. However, it was detected intergroup difference in extensor muscle strength and intergroup difference with marginal significance of gibbosity angles. Regarding extensor muscle strength, intervention group produced average improvement of 7.0 kgf compared to control group. Gibbosity angles progressed less in intervention group, with 5.71° average delay compared to control group. [Conclusion] Klapp method was effective for gibbosity stabilization and it improves spine extensor muscle strength.
