About this study
Official title: Comparative Study of Post Isometric Relaxation and Mulligan Bent Leg Raise on Hamstring Tightness in High School Students
This project was a Randomized clinical trial conducted COMPARATIVE STUDY OF POST ISOMETRIC RELAXATION AND MULLIGAN BENT LEG RAISE ON HAMSTRING TIGHTNESS IN HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
Read the detailed description
Non Probability Convenient sampling was done. Patients following eligibility criteria from high schools located in vicinity of Jhang district were considered. Sample size was calculated with Epitool calculator. 28 Participants were randomly allocated in two groups equally via convenient sampling method. Baseline assessment was done initially. Group A was given post isometric relaxation and Group B was given mulligan bent leg raise Duration of research was almost 6 months. All 28 involved subjects were given 12 treatment sessions over a six-week period, which consisted of 02 treatment sessions per week . Then tightness of hamstrings was assessed by AKET, SLR and FTF test. The baseline outcome measures consisted of pain assessment using Numeric rating scale (NPRS), knee joint goniometry in active knee extension test (AKET) and straight leg raise (SLR), modified finger to floor test (FTF) to assess the flexibility of hamstring muscles. . All participants were provided written informed consent prior to commencement of the procedures. Data was analyzed by using SPSS version 23.

| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| post isometric relaxation | Experimental | Group A received Post isometric relaxation technique (MET).The participants performed isometric contractions using 20% of their strength, 5 second holds with 5 seconds rest time in between each contraction Receives: Other: post isometric relaxation and muligan bent leg raise |

Isometric contraction of hamstring muscle for progressively five greater position of hip flexion; three pain-free repetitions with 5 second hold was performed by participants Receives: Other: muligan bent leg raise |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
NUMERIC PAIN RATING SCALE for pain
0-10 Rating,0 means no pain and 10 severe pain
Measured: 2 months
Knee joint goniometry in active knee extension test (AKET)
The 90/90 test, also known as the Active Knee Extension (AKE) Hamstring Flexibility Test, measures hamstring flexibility, particularly when the hip is flexed. purpose: to assess the range of active knee extension in a position of hip flexion, as required in running and kicking.
Measured: 2 months
straight leg raise (SLR) test
If symptoms are primarily back pain, it is most likely the result of a disc herniation applying pressure on the anterior theca of the spinal cord, or the pathology causing the pressure is more central. "Back pain only" patients who have a disc prolapse have smaller, more central prolapses.[1] If pain is primarily in the leg, it is more likely that the pathology causing the pressure on neurological tissue(s) is more lateral.[1] Disc herniations or pathology causing pressure between the two extremes are more likely to cause pain in both areas.
Measured: 2 months
modified finger to floor test (FTF)
If the FTF test is limited by pain, the location and pain score out of 10 should be should be documented. If the FTF test is 0cm or the patient is able to place their palms to the floor with no pain, 10 with maximum pain
Measured: 2 months
