Study Overview
Brief Summary
Present study is a comparative study between instrument assisted soft tissue mobilisation technique (M2T blade) versus Mulligan’s Bent Leg raise technique in asymptomatic subjects with Hamstring tightness. It is a pre-post trial where the outcome measures were assessed pre-intervention that is baseline values and after 24hours of intervention. Outcome measures targeted both knee extension range actively and passively, and lumbar motion along with degree lumbar lordosis.
