Brief Summary

The present study was concerned with the comparison of effect of Theragun PRO and manual myofascial release technique to improve Hamstrings Flexibility in healthy Adults. It was randomized clinical trial on two groups one got percussion therapy by theragun PRO and other got treatment through manual myofascial release technique. The outcome measure was hamstring flexibility.

Conditions

Hamstring Sprain

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Sit to Reach Test (Change is being assessed)

  A yardstick is placed on the floor and tape is placed across it at a right angle to the 15 inches mark. The client/patient sits with the yardstick between the legs, with the legs extended at right angles to the taped line on the floor. Heels of the feet should touch the edge of the taped line and be about 10 to 12 inches apart. The score is the most distant point (cm or in) reached with the fingertips.

  Change from Baseline range of motion at day 4

• Active knee extension test (Change is being assessed)

  The subject is positioned on the examination table in supine, the lower limb that is'nt examined is positioned in stabilised on the support surface. The opposite limb is elevated so that the hip is in 90degrees of flexion and the knees are extended to reach a position perpendicular to the ground. A lag of 20degrees is considered normal from full extension, anything less than 20degrees is considered as hamstrings tightness. This range needs to be measure using a goniometer placed at the knee with the fulcrum at the lateral epicondyle, the stationary arm parallel to the thigh pointing to the greater trochanter and the moveable arm parallel to the leg pointing to the lateral malleoli.

Study Arms (2)

Percussion therapy group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Group A was given Conventional treatment along with percussion therapy with Theragun PRO (1750-2400 rpm). •Participants lying in prone position on the couch received percussion therapy with Theragun PRO using standard ball head at speed of 1750 rpm, for total of 90 seconds, split into 3 sets of 30 seconds with 10 seconds rest

Other: Percussion therapy

Manual Myofascial Release technique group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Group B was given Conventional treatment along with manual myofascial release technique for 90 sec continuous.

Other: Manual Myofascial Release technique
