Brief Summary

Hamstring muscle are more likely to shorten among all biarticular muscles of human body. One of the many factors of hamstring tightness is increased tension in the neural structure. Apart from routine stretching techniques, mobilization of nervous system proves to be more effective. There are lot of stretching techniques available but they are more effective after multiple sessions. This study aims to cater the problem of hamstring tightness by neural sliding and static stretching in minimum sessions and compare which technique is more effective in resolving the issue.

Conditions

Healthy Individuals With Hamstring Tightness

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Change from Baseline in Hamstring flexibility assessed with Active Knee Extension Test

  This test is use to measure Hamstring tightness. 0 degree indicates more hamstring flexibility

  Baseline, 2nd Week, 4th week

• Change from Baseline in Hamstring flexibility assessed with Straight Leg raise

  This test is use to measure hamstring tightness. 90 degree indicates more hamstring flexibility

  Baseline, 2nd Week, 4th week

Study Arms (2)

Neurodynamic Sliding

EXPERIMENTAL

participents receive routine physical therapy along with TENS, Hot pack and Neurodynamic Stretching. (For 30 seconds, 3 times per session for 3 alternative days a week \& duration of 4 weeks).

Other: Neurodynamic Sliding

Static Streching

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Participent receive the routine physical therapy treatment that will include TENS, Hot pack and static stretching for 30 seconds and 3 times per session for 3 alternative days a week (duration of 4 weeks).

Other: Static Stretching

Interventions

Neurodynamic Sliding OTHER

Participants supine with their cervical and thoracic spine supported in a forward flexed position. Simultaneous hip and knee flexion will be alternated dynamically with simultaneous hip and knee extension. The therapist will change the arrangement of movement depending on the tissue resistance level.

Neurodynamic Sliding

Static Stretching OTHER

Participent lying supine, the therapist will passively position the subject into the straight leg raise position without discomfort or pain to the point where resistance to movement will be first felt.

Static Streching
