简要总结
The objective of the study was to compare the effects of active release technique and bent leg raise on hamstring flexibility, functional outcomes, and pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
详细描述
Knee Osteoarthritis is a common progressive degenerative joint disease. Muscular weakness and other structural abnormalities can cause low back pain. Hamstring muscle being a postural muscle has an increased tendency to become tight. In this study, participants with knee osteoarthritis having hamstring tightness were included. Active Release Technique and Bent Leg Raise technique have been used to increase flexibility in hamstrings in these patients with knee osteoarthritis.

结局指标
主要结局
Hamstring flexibility
时间窗: 12 days
Changes from baseline, Hamstring flexibility was measured through passive knee extension test with the help of Goniometer. Normal value of knee extension angle is 180 degrees. Values decreased than 160 degree represents hamstring tightness.
次要结局
- Functional outcome(12 days)
- Pain on Visual analogue Scale(12 days)
