Overview

Brief Summary

The Patients will be recruited from Centre for Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Sciences. Patients will be required to sign the consent form explaining their rights as research subjects. All the identifying information on the consent form and demographic data shall be confidential. The initial assessment of the patient will include demographic data, anthropometric characteristics and screening for tightness of hamstring will be done. Baselines assessment will include measurements for Muscle Activation from EMG, Gait from gaitON , Muscle flexibility from V sit and reach test and Physical performance from vertical jump. Intervention will be given thrice a week for 15 days. After which post intervention assessment will be taken again.
