Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Hamstring flexibility

    Changes from baseline, Hamstring flexibility was measured through passive knee extension test with the help of Goniometer. Normal value of knee extension angle is 180 degrees. Values decreased than 160 degree represents hamstring tightness.

    12 days

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Functional outcome

    12 days

  • Pain on Visual analogue Scale

    12 days
