Healthy Individuals With Hamstring TightnessNCT05076825
Neurodynamic Sliding Verses Static Stretching
A study testing Neurodynamic Sliding and Static Stretching in people with Healthy Individuals With Hamstring Tightness, run by University of Lahore at 1 site in Pakistan.
Trial summary
Hamstring muscle are more likely to shorten among all biarticular muscles of human body. One of the many factors of hamstring tightness is increased tension in the neural structure. Apart from routine stretching techniques, mobilization of nervous system proves to be more effective. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Comparison Of Neurodynamic Sliding Verses Static Stretching On Clinical Outcomes In People With Hamstring Tightness: A Randomized Control Trail
Hamstring muscle are more likely to shorten among all biarticular muscles of human body. One of the many factors of hamstring tightness is increased tension in the neural structure. Apart from routine stretching techniques, mobilization of nervous system proves to be more effective. There are lot of stretching techniques available but they are more effective after multiple sessions. This study aims to cater the problem of hamstring tightness by neural sliding and static stretching in minimum sessions and compare which technique is more effective in resolving the issue.
Read the detailed description
Randomized Controlled Trials was used to collect data. Total patients were selected in two group with each 31 subjects. Purposive sampling technique was used. Experimental group will receive routine physical therapy along with TENS, Hot pack and Neurodynamic Stretching. (For 30 seconds, 3 times per session for 3 alternative days a week \& duration of 4 weeks). Outcome measure will be the hamstring tightness value angle in degrees, which will be obtained with the help of goniometer after performing active knee extension test and active straight leg raise test
- Being tested
- Neurodynamic Sliding, Static Stretching
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Neurodynamic SlidingOther
Participants supine with their cervical and thoracic spine supported in a forward flexed position. Simultaneous hip and knee flexion will be alternated dynamically with simultaneous hip and knee extension. The therapist will change the arrangement of movement depending on the tissue resistance level.
Static StretchingOther
Participent lying supine, the therapist will passively position the subject into the straight leg raise position without discomfort or pain to the point where resistance to movement will be first felt.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Neurodynamic Sliding | Experimental | participents receive routine physical therapy along with TENS, Hot pack and Neurodynamic Stretching. (For 30 seconds, 3 times per session for 3 alternative days a week \& duration of 4 weeks). Receives: Other: Neurodynamic Sliding |
| Static Streching | Active comparator | Participent receive the routine physical therapy treatment that will include TENS, Hot pack and static stretching for 30 seconds and 3 times per session for 3 alternative days a week (duration of 4 weeks). Receives: Other: Static Stretching |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change from Baseline in Hamstring flexibility assessed with Active Knee Extension Test
This test is use to measure Hamstring tightness. 0 degree indicates more hamstring flexibility
Measured: Baseline, 2nd Week, 4th week
Change from Baseline in Hamstring flexibility assessed with Straight Leg raise
This test is use to measure hamstring tightness. 90 degree indicates more hamstring flexibility
Measured: Baseline, 2nd Week, 4th week

What does the primary outcome measure?
Change from Baseline in Hamstring flexibility assessed with Active Knee Extension Test (time frame: Baseline, 2nd Week, 4th week). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
