Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 3
Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the immediate effect of mulligan bent leg raise and neural mobilization on hamstring tightness in college going students. Methods: This experimental study was conducted in Krishna institute of medical sciences, faculty of Physiotherapy, karad. Fifty students (aged 18-25 years) with hamstring tightness were randomly assigned to 2 groups. Active knee extension and straight leg raise was measured using universal goniometer. These variables were assessed before and after intervention. Group A (n=25) received Mulligan bent leg raise and Group B (n=25) received neural mobilization technique. Results: Statistically extremely significant improvement in active knee extension and straight leg raise was observed within the groups. But between groups analysis showed significant and very significant improvement in Group B than Group A. Conclusion: Mulligan bent leg raise and neural mobilization techniques both showed immediate improvement in decreasing hamstring tightness which was reflected by increase in active knee extension and straight leg raise. But between groups comparison showed neural mobilization to be more effective than mulligan Bent leg raise technique
