简要总结
"Office workers often spend long hours sitting, which can lead to stiffness and reduced mobility. By studying these two techniques AIS and MFR, we can determine which one is more effective in helping office workers to improve their flexibility and range of motion in the knee joint because their sedentary work environment often leads to musculoskeletal issues, including limited knee joint mobility.
AIS involves stretching specific muscles while actively engaging opposing muscles to enhance the effectiveness of the stretch. It aims to increase the extensibility of muscles and improve joint mobility. On the other hand, MFR focuses on releasing tension and adhesions in the fascia, the connective tissue surrounding muscles and joints, to restore mobility and reduce pain.
Understanding the benefits and effectiveness of these techniques will contribute to evidence-based practices in occupational health and help office workers maintain optimal joint health"

入选标准
- •Subjects with age group between 25 to 45 years with prolonged sitting
- •both males and females will be included.
- •Patients with diagnosed with reduced hamstrings flexibility and range of motion which we checked by doing walking (normal ranges 0 to 60 in flexion and 0 to 10 in extension) and squatting (normal range when knees bend to angle of 90 to 120 in flexion and 0 in extension)
- •Patients with reduced straight leg raise.
- •Patients with pain in posterior compartment of thigh
- •Asymptomatic patients will be included.
- •Patients with restricted mobility of lower limb due to Hamstring shortness.
- •Symptomatic patients with hamstring tightness like of low back pain, pelvic tightness, knee osteoarthritis (grade 1 and 2) are included in the research.
排除标准
- •Patients with prolapsed disc will excluded.
- •Patients with lower extremity injuries (strain, sprain, ligament injuries, etc.) in last 6 months will be excluded.
- •Patients with severe hamstring injury either acute or chronic will be excluded.
