Neurologic complications after surgery for obesity.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:We investigated the viscoelastic stress relaxation response before and after a 10-week hamstrings static stretch program. METHODS:The maximal range of motion (ROMmax ) and maximal torque (Torquemax ) were assessed before and after a 10-week stretching program. Six 30-s static stretches at a predetermined ...
