Brief Summary

This project was a Randomized clinical trial conducted COMPARATIVE STUDY OF POST ISOMETRIC RELAXATION AND MULLIGAN BENT LEG RAISE ON HAMSTRING TIGHTNESS IN HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

Detailed Description

Non Probability Convenient sampling was done. Patients following eligibility criteria from high schools located in vicinity of Jhang district were considered. Sample size was calculated with Epitool calculator. 28 Participants were randomly allocated in two groups equally via convenient sampling method. Baseline assessment was done initially. Group A was given post isometric relaxation and Group B was given mulligan bent leg raise Duration of research was almost 6 months. All 28 involved subjects were given 12 treatment sessions over a six-week period, which consisted of 02 treatment sessions per week . Then tightness of hamstrings was assessed by AKET, SLR and FTF test. The baseline outcome measures consisted of pain assessment using Numeric rating scale (NPRS), knee joint goniometry in active knee extension test (AKET) and straight leg raise (SLR), modified finger to floor test (FTF) to assess the flexibility of hamstring muscles. . All participants were provided written informed consent prior to commencement of the procedures. Data was analyzed by using SPSS version 23.

Conditions

Study Groups

post isometric relaxation

Group A received Post isometric relaxation technique (MET).The participants performed isometric contractions using 20% of their strength, 5 second holds with 5 seconds rest time in between each contraction

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

Asymptomatic Individuals of both gender, aged 13 to 18 years were evaluated for unilateral or bilateral Hamstring tightness. Those who were unable to reach more than 160 degree of knee extension with hip held at 90 degree of flexion, as measured with the thigh held at 90 degrees of hip flexion), unable to complete SLR and meet the criteria of finger to floor test

were included.

Exclusion Criteria

Individuals were excluded who presented with previous injury of lower limb or pain duration of one year. Also any deformities related to spine, hip and knees or any neurological disorder or with history of lower limb fracture or surgery were also excluded.Subjects with hamstring tightness associated with muscle soreness or with Inflammatory condition that could affect motion were also exluded from the study
