The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of mulligan stretch with traction technique and muscle energy technique to increase hip flexion range of motion in athletes with hamstring tightness
Design
Randomized, Parallel Group, Single Blinded
Settings and conduct
The data was collected from Athletes in Shapes Executive Gym, Gulberg Lahore. Subject/patient were blinded throughout the study about assessment and inclusion in group
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
Age 18-30 yrs., Both male and female, negative Spring test, Asymptomatic, SLR < 80
Exclusion Criteria
Symptoms of lower back pain, Lumbar Straightening, SI Joint Dysfunction, History of hamstring injury, Current musculoskeletal pain in hip region, Any other comorbidity limiting joint Range of motion
Intervention groups
DESCRIPTION
• Baseline measurements for both groups was done prior to start any intervention.
• Intervention was performed for 4 weeks and 2 days within a week.
• Midline measurements for both the groups was taken after 2 weeks of intervention.
• Final measurement for both the groups was taken after 4 weeks of intervention.
o Group A:
Conventional hot pad for 10 mins daily and static self-stretching for hamstring flexibility as a home plan is guided to athlete. Muscle energy technique (METs) will be applied by using post isometric relaxation technique.
o Group B:
Conventional hot pad for 10 mins daily and static self-stretching for hamstring flexibility as a home plan is guided to athlete. Mulligan Stretch with traction Technique was applied
Main outcome variables
Hip Flexion ROM, SLR
