• 1 other identifier: P.T.REC/012/002566
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 45

Brief Summary

45 female participants with short hamstring syndrome were devided into one of the three groups; Group I: suboccipital muscle inhinbition plus passive hamstring stretch, group II: Slump stretch position plus Passive hamstring stretch, and group III: Passive stretch of hamstring muscle. Assessment methods were Straight leg raising test, forward flexion test and popliteal angle test, were measured at baseline, immediately after 1st treatment session then after 4 weeks of treatment.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Straight leg raising test

  the patient was supine lying position with hip and knee extension at the starting position, then the patient was asked to actively flex hip joint as much as possible while maintaining the knee in extension position. Then with the goniometer the therapist started to determine the angle of hip flexion, patients were excluded if the SRL was more than 80˚at the initial evaluation

  after 4 weeks of intervention.

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Popliteal Angle Test

  after 4 weeks of intervention.

• Forward flexion test

  after 4 weeks of treatment.

Interventions

Suboccipital muscle inhibition OTHER

The patient was asked to flex his hip joint with complete knee extension and ankle in neutral position. The therapist stretches the hamstring of the dominant side; distal hand of the therapist on planter surface of foot for dorsiflexion. and proximal hand on the knee to increase the length of the muscle, maintain this stretching for 60 seconds then relax .Sub occipital muscle inhibition: The Patient is supine, The therapist stretch the sub occipital, flexes the head of the patient to get the chin to the manibiurim sternii, maintaining this position for 60seconds then relax Slump strtch position:Patient in comfortable short sitting position at the edge of the bed with the trunk in an millitary straight position then ask the patient to slump the flex his neck and street the knee joint in complete extension the at the end of the procedure do active dorsiflexion at the tested foot

Also known as: slump stretch position, Passive stretch of the hamstring muscle.
