摘要：The purpose of this study was to clarify the effect of the conductive heaton the extensibility of muscles. Heat was provided for 10 minutes by a hydrocollator hot pack on the posterior portion of the thigh in 16 volunteers. Goniometric measurements of passive flexion of the hip joint with the straight leg raising on one leg were taken before, immediately after, and 10 minutes after the treatment of the heat.A control study was conducted on another leg. As a result, no improvement in the extensibility of muscles was shown by the application of the conductive heat of the hydrocollator hot pack.
