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

Conditions

Hamstring Injury; Hamstring Tendon Injury

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• NUMERIC PAIN RATING SCALE for pain

  0-10 Rating,0 means no pain and 10 severe pain

  2 months

• Knee joint goniometry in active knee extension test (AKET)

  The 90/90 test, also known as the Active Knee Extension (AKE) Hamstring Flexibility Test, measures hamstring flexibility, particularly when the hip is flexed. purpose: to assess the range of active knee extension in a position of hip flexion, as required in running and kicking.

  2 months

• straight leg raise (SLR) test

  If symptoms are primarily back pain, it is most likely the result of a disc herniation applying pressure on the anterior theca of the spinal cord, or the pathology causing the pressure is more central. "Back pain only" patients who have a disc prolapse have smaller, more central prolapses.\[1\] If pain is primarily in the leg, it is more likely that the pathology causing the pressure on neurological tissue(s) is more lateral.\[1\] Disc herniations or pathology causing pressure between the two extremes are more likely to cause pain in both areas.

  2 months

• modified finger to floor test (FTF)

  If the FTF test is limited by pain, the location and pain score out of 10 should be should be documented. If the FTF test is 0cm or the patient is able to place their palms to the floor with no pain, 10 with maximum pain

  2 months

Study Arms (2)

post isometric relaxation

EXPERIMENTAL

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

Other: post isometric relaxation and muligan bent leg raise

mulligan bent leg raise

EXPERIMENTAL

Group B: Mulligan bent leg raise technique. Isometric contraction of hamstring muscle for progressively five greater position of hip flexion; three pain-free repetitions with 5 second hold was performed by participants

Other: muligan bent leg raise

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 13 Years - 18 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Child (0-17), Adult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

• 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.

You may not qualify if:

• 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
