Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of the study was to compare the effects of active release technique and bent leg raise on hamstring flexibility, functional outcomes, and pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Description:

Knee Osteoarthritis is a common progressive degenerative joint disease. Muscular weakness and other structural abnormalities can cause low back pain. Hamstring muscle being a postural muscle has an increased tendency to become tight. In this study, participants with knee osteoarthritis having hamstring tightness were included. Active Release Technique and Bent Leg Raise technique have been used to increase flexibility in hamstrings in these patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Hamstring flexibility	Changes from baseline, Hamstring flexibility was measured through passive knee extension test with the help of Goniometer. Normal value of knee extension angle is 180 degrees. Values decreased than 160 degree represents hamstring tightness.	12 days
Secondary	Functional outcome	Changes from baseline, Functional outcome was taken through western Ontario McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index tool. It comprises three sections containing 24 items. Score ranges from 0 to 96. 0 representing a healthy state and higher scores indicating worst health.	12 days
Secondary	Pain on Visual analogue Scale	Changes from baseline, Pain was measured through Visual Analogue Scale. It comprises of a continuous scale of 10cm line. 0 to 4mm represents "no pain", 5mm to 44mm indicates "mild pain", whereas 45mm to 74mm indicates "moderate pain" and continues to the range of "worst pain" between 75mm to 100 mm.	12 days
