About this study
Official title: Comparison Of Mulligan Stretch With Traction Technique And Post Isometric Relaxation On Hamstring Flexibility In Athletes
The design of my study will be Randomized Control Trial (RCT) study. And the sampling technique will be non-probability convenience sampling. A sample of 32 (16 in each group) has been selected using 10% level of significance and 80% power of test.
Three groups will be made each containing 16 participants with inclusion criteria met. Group A will be given control group treatment with Muscle Energy Technique applied over the period of 4 weeks. Group B will be given control group treatment with Mulligan Stretch with Traction Technique applied over the period of 4 weeks.
Total 3 recordings of Hip Flexion ROMs shall be taken with manual goniometry as follows initial/first day, 3rd week, final week/last treatment. A sum of 8 treatments shall be given to the intervention group over the period of 4 weeks, 2 treatments per week.
Read the detailed description
INTRODUCTION:
Mobility in human gait depends on flexibility of hamstring muscles. Hamstring muscles function is hip extension and knee flexion. In most of the population, tightness or shortening of hamstring muscles occur which limits hip flexion. To measure hamstring muscles flexibility simple passive SLR is performed and range is recorded by manual goniometer. To increase SLR, several techniques are used: MET's and TSLR. Effectiveness of these techniques depend on muscle flexibility.
OBJECTIVE:
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of mulligan stretch with traction technique and muscle energy technique to increase the SLR in athletes with hamstring tightness.
METHOD:
The data will be collected from Athletes in sports clubs, gyms, and sports fields of Lahore. The study will be completed in a period of six months after the approval of synopsis. The design of my study will be Randomized Control Trial (RCT) study. And the sampling technique will be non-probability convenience sampling. A sample of 32 (16 in each group) has been selected using 10% level of significance and 80% power of test.
Three groups will be made each containing 16 participants with inclusion criteria met. Group A will be given control group treatment with Muscle Energy Technique applied over the period of 4 weeks. Group B will be given control group treatment with Mulligan Stretch with Traction Technique applied over the period of 4 weeks.
Total 3 recordings of Hip Flexion ROMs shall be taken with manual goniometry as follows initial/first day, 3rd week, final week/last treatment. A sum of 8 treatments shall be given to the intervention group over the period of 4 weeks, 2 treatments per week.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Mulligan Strech with Traction (TSLR) TechniqueOther
The Mulligan traction straight leg raise (TSLR) technique is a mobilization technique that can increase hamstring flexibility and range of motion.
Post-Isometric Relaxation TechniqueOther
Post-Isometric Relaxation Technique is a Muscle Energy Technique which increases hamstring flexibility and range of motion.

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Hip Flexion Range of Motion (time frame: Baseline, 3rd week and 6th week.). 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?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Nov 2024.
