Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Experimiental Group 1
Hot pack for 10 minutes Interferential Current (IFC) for 10 minutes Active release technique is applied (patient is prone lying with knee flexed, Pressure is applied on taut band and patient is asked to move the leg in internal rotation to achieve maximal lengthening) Repetitions 5 to 7 times hold for 5 to 20 seconds
Electrotherapy
Hot pack for 10 minutes Interferential Current (IFC) for 10 minutes
Active release technique
Active release technique is applied (patient is prone lying with knee flexed, Pressure is applied on taut band and patient is asked to move the leg in internal rotation to achieve maximal lengthening) Repetitions 5 to 7 times hold for 5 to 20 seconds
Experimental Group 2
Hot pack for 10 minutes Interferential Current (IFC) for 10 minutes Hold relax technique This technique is applied while the patient is in supine lying with one leg crossed over the other Patient is instructed to contract the piriformis against the manual resistance for 5 to 10 secs Then 15 secs of passive stretch is given repetitions x 5 times
Electrotherapy
Hot pack for 10 minutes Interferential Current (IFC) for 10 minutes
Hold relax technique
This technique is applied while the patient is in supine lying with one leg crossed over the other Patient is instructed to contract the piriformis against the manual resistance for 5 to 10 secs Then 15 secs of passive stretch is given repetitions x 5 times
