Clinical Trial Summary

There are several research on Mulligan's techniques that have demonstrated their effectiveness in lowering hamstring tightness, and Mulligan is a pain-free therapy that may be used on any patients complaining of low back pain and hamstring tightness. the purpose of this preliminary study was to determine the effect of Mulligan technique versus post facilitation stretch technique on hamstring flexibility in healthy subjects

Intervention

Other:
• mulling Straight leg raising technique
Subject was in supine lying, therapist stood at the side of limited, therapist placed subjects flexed knee over therapists shoulder and subject was asked to push therapist away with his leg and then relax. At this point therapist pushed subjects bent knee up as far as in the direction of shoulder.
• post facilitation stretch
Muscle energy technique was applied using post facilitation stretch While the participant lying in supine position, the pelvis was strapped down to the table for stabilization and control on accessory movement and the contralateral limb was securely strapped down to the table to prevent excessive hip and pelvic rotations during procedures.The participant's hip was passively flexed and the leg extended until tension was sensed and the participant reported a moderate stretching sensation.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Active knee extension test	Active knee extension test( popliteal angle) is an objective test for measuring tightness of hamstring muscles with electro goniometer while active knee extension. It has been showed excellent inter-rater and intra-rater reliability for assessing hamstring flexibility in asymptomatic healthy adults	after two months
Primary	Passive compliance	Passive compliance is defined as the ratio of change in angle to the change in passive force. A handheld dynamometer (HHD; Micro Manual Muscle Tester; North Coast Medical Inc.) was used to measure the passive torque.	after two months
