Brief Summary

Comparison between the Effect of Muscle Energy Technique in Individuals with Hamstring Shortness and PNF in Individuals With Hamstring Shortness

Conditions

Hamstring Shortness

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Individuals With Hamstring Shortness

  Research will be effective to compare effectiveness of muscle energy technique MET and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) to the further develop conclusion that which treatment method is more effective and quicker for the treatment of pain, improving flexibility and functional ability of patients with hamstring shortness having sedentary life style. Most of the target population having hamstring shortness due to sedentary lifestyle mostly poor posture and ergonomics that may eventually leads to loss of flexibility, functional ability and increases pain. The two procedures were applied at a very same time with equal gatherings and similar standards. Met and PNF are most effective stretching techniques to be compared
