Brief Summary

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

There are several research on Mulligan's techniques that have demonstrated their effectiveness in lowering hamstring tightness, and Mulligan is a pain-free therapy that may be used on any patients complaining of low back pain and hamstring tightness. the purpose of this preliminary study was to determine the effect of Mulligan technique versus post facilitation stretch technique on hamstring flexibility in healthy subjects

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Group I

received mulligan straight leg raising

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

mulling Straight leg raising technique

Intervention Type OTHER

Subject was in supine lying, therapist stood at the side of limited, therapist placed subjects flexed knee over therapists shoulder and subject was asked to push therapist away with his leg and then relax. At this point therapist pushed subjects bent knee up as far as in the direction of shoulder.

group II

received post facilitation stretch on hamstring muscles

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

post facilitation stretch

Intervention Type OTHER

Muscle energy technique was applied using post facilitation stretch While the participant lying in supine position, the pelvis was strapped down to the table for stabilization and control on accessory movement and the contralateral limb was securely strapped down to the table to prevent excessive hip and pelvic rotations during procedures.The participant's hip was passively flexed and the leg extended until tension was sensed and the participant reported a moderate stretching sensation.
