Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of the study was to compare the effects of active release technique and bent leg raise on hamstring flexibility, functional outcomes, and pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Knee Osteoarthritis is a common progressive degenerative joint disease. Muscular weakness and other structural abnormalities can cause low back pain. Hamstring muscle being a postural muscle has an increased tendency to become tight. In this study, participants with knee osteoarthritis having hamstring tightness were included. Active Release Technique and Bent Leg Raise technique have been used to increase flexibility in hamstrings in these patients with knee osteoarthritis.
