Not Applicable

Recruiting

• Conditions: Rehabilitation

• Registration Number: NCT05689060
• Lead Sponsor: Cairo University

Brief 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

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Active knee extension test	after two months	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
Passive compliance	after two months	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.
