Health conditions studied
1
Description of health condition studied
Short Hamstring Syndrome : Hamstring syndrome is a condition caused by pressure on this nerve. The nerve may be pinched between the hamstring muscles and the pelvic bone or by the band of tissue that connects the hamstring muscles.This condition can cause pain in the hip and buttock and sometimes numbness down the back of the leg. It may hurt to sit down or stretch the hamstrings.

Primary outcomes
1
Description
Range of motion (ROM)
Timepoint
Before intervention and after intervention
Method of measurement
Active SLR (less than 80 degree) with Goniometer
2
Description
Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS)
Timepoint
before and after intervention
Method of measurement
the scale will be shown to participants and they will mark their pain rate according to their pain.
Secondary outcomes
empty
Intervention groups
1
Description
Intervention group 1; Neurodynamic sliding will be used as a treatment to intervention group 1. Participants in the Neurodynamic group will receive sciatic neurodynamic sliders, performed in supine with passive straight leg raising 3 times. Goniometer will be used to measure range of motion . First reading will be taken pre treatment and second reading will be taken post treatment.
Category
Rehabilitation
2
Description
Intervention group 2; Muscle energy technique will be used as a treatment to intervention group 2. The participants will ask to contract a muscle for approximately 5 seconds against the resistant force applied by the physical therapist. The muscle contraction is performed by the participant 3 times in a row in the hopes to stretch the muscle further each time. first reading will be taken pre treatment and after intervention post readings will be measure.
