Dr. Tanvi Chauhan, Dr. Danish Nouman

Abstract :

Objective – The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of mulligan bent leg raise versus Muscle energy technique in hamstring tightness normal healthy subjects. Method – The total 30 patients (female and male) were screened for this study. Subject should exhibit tight hamstring muscle and the hamstring tightness was determined by active knee extension test. 15 subjects were taken in each group. Group A(were treated with mulligan‘s bent leg raise stretching) and Group B(were treated with muscle energy technique) for duration of 3 weeks. Result –Mulligan‘s bent leg raise and muscle energy technique of stretching of hamstring muscle both the intervention are effective in improving the hamstring flexibility, whereas Muscle energy technique is more effective as compared to mulligan‘s bent leg raise technique
