First, they contend that we misquoted the findings of Moore and Hutton 2 by reporting that they showed the CRAC technique to be superior to the SS pro cedure in increasing ROM, although in fact Hutton's group consistently had found that difference to be statistically insignificant. This claim appears to be directed at the last two sentences in our abstract: " ... it is suggested that the proprioceptive neuromuscular facilita tion (PNF) methods, particularly those involving reciprocal activation, provide the greatest potential for muscle length ening. This is supported by previous studies which compared gains in range of motion using [the] 3 stretching meth ods (Holt et al, 1970; Moore and Hut ton, 1980; Etnyre and Abraham, 1985)."
