简要总结
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn tissue flossing and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation effect in treating hamstring muscle tightness.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
- which technique is more useful in giving instant relaxation of hamstring muscle
- can these technique increase muscle flexibility and knee motion
Researchers will compare Tissue flossing to a PNF (Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) to see which on is more effective.
Participant will:
- be provided one technique either tissue flossing or PNF in first day
- physiotherapist will immediately measure the the change in flexibility or knee motion
2. another technique will be applied after 1 week 3. again change in flexibility and knee motion will be recorded

结局指标
主要结局
Active Knee Extension Test
时间窗: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 1 week
With the participant supine and the hip flexed to 90°, the participant actively extends the knee. A goniometer was used to records the knee extension angle. Three trials are performed and the mean is used for analysis.
Passive Knee Extension Test
时间窗: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 1 week
With the participant supine and the hip flexed to 90°, the examiner passively extends the knee until the first onset of resistance. A goniometer is used to records the knee extension angle. Three trials are performed and the mean is used.
Straight Leg Raise
时间窗: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 1 week
With the participant supine, the examiner passively raises the extended leg until resistance . A goniometer at the hip measures maximum hip flexion angle (degrees). Three trials are performed and the mean is used.
Sit-and-Reach Test
时间窗: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 1 week
The participant sits with legs extended and reaches forward along a standard sit-and-reach box . After a warm-up, three trials are performed and the mean score (cm) is recorded.
