Brief Summary

The aim of this research is to compare the effect of mulligan bent leg raise and contract relax technique on hamstring flexibility in office workers with sedentary life styles.

Conditions

Muscle Tightness

Keywords

hamstring tightness; contract relax; mulligan bent leg raise; office worker

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Active Knee Extension Test

  AKE test with goniometry will be used to evaluate hamstring tightness. Goniometer was used to measure the popliteal angle. When popliteal angle becomes greater than 20 degrees then it's considered as Hamstring tightness. "change will be measured from baseline to 4 weeks"

  4 weeks

• Lower Extremity Functional Mobility Scale

  The Lower Extremity Functional Mobility Scale will tell us about activities done by a healthy individual using their lower limbs. The test-retest reliability is excellent ranging between 0.855 and 0.99. "Change will be measured from baseline to 4 weeks"

  4 weeks

Study Arms (2)

Experimental group A

EXPERIMENTAL

Subjects will receive 8 sessions of Mulligan Bent Leg Raise technique on dominant side

Other: Mulligan Bent Leg Raise technique

Experimental group B

EXPERIMENTAL

Subjects will receive 8 sessions of PNF Contract Relax technique on dominant side

Other: PNF Contract Relax technique

Interventions

Mulligan Bent Leg Raise technique OTHER

Treatment session will be conducted for 2 days a week for 4 weeks consecutively. In first week only 20 minutes session will be given to each group. Home exercise plan is also given.Pre and post intervention measurements will be taken at 2nd and 4th week. Both dominant and non-dominant legs will be checked
