Brief Summary

To determine the effects of mulligan's bent leg raise technique on hamstring flexibility and lumber spine mobility in healthy females

Detailed Description

Flexibility is a pivotal constituent of the physical fitness and held as an integral aspect that capacitate the person to move smoothly and safely. Although the flexibility of all the muscles of the body is essential for normal human function, the flexibility of hamstring muscle is much emphasized. Investigations suggest adequate flexibility of the Hamstring muscles is compulsory for a healthy lower back. Lack of hamstring muscles extensibility conditions a decrease of pelvic mobility. This invariably leads to biomechanical changes in the pressure distribution of the spine and consequent spinal disorders.

This study will be a randomized control trial and will be conducted in health sciences collage in Bahawalpur. The study will be completed within the time duration of six months. Convenient sampling technique will be used to collect the data. The sample size of 48 patients will be taken in this study to find the Effects of Mulligan's bent leg raise technique on hamstring flexibility and lumber spine mobility in healthy females. Patient will be divided into two groups. Static Stretching will be given to both group as a baseline treatment. (Group A will be treated with Mulligan's bent leg raise techniques and static stretching Group B will be treated with static stretching only. Participants will be assessed for hamstring tightness with Active Knee Extension Test (AKET) and readings will be noted and lumbar mobility will be assess using Modified Schober Test (MMST). Assessments will be done at baseline and post intervention on 5th and 10th day. Intervention will be given 5 days per week for two weeks. Data will be analyzed on SPSS 25.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Active Knee Extension Test (AKET)	10 days	The subject lies supine on a firm table with their head back and arms folded across the chest.; The hip is passively flexed until the thigh is vertical - use the spirit level to measure the position of the thigh.; The opposite leg is placed in a fully extended position on the table.
Modified Schobber's Test	10 days	The validity of the modified-modified Schober test is moderate (r=0.67) with an excellent interclass (r=0.91) and intraclass (r=95) reliability
