Journal Title: International Journal of Allied Medical Sciences and Clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Background Flexibility is important for normal functioning of humans. Hamstring tightness is a common problem in non- athletic young adults. Hamstrings tightness can further lead to back problems and also can cause hamstring strains. Aim To study immediate effects of Mulligan bent leg raise and Neurodynamic sliding on Hamstring tightness in non-athletic college students. Methodology A comparative study between immediate effects of Mulligan bent leg raise and Neurodynamic sliding was performed on 60 college going non-athletic young adults which were randomly divided into two groups (A & B). 30 subjects in group A received Mulligan bent leg raise technique and 30 subjects in Group B received Neurodynamic sliding technique. Hamstrings flexibility was measured of dominant leg at baseline and immediately after the intervention by using 900-900 straight leg raise test. Results In both the groups Mulligan bent leg raise and Neurodynamic sliding had shown increase in 900-900 straight leg raise test. But there was highly significant increase in hamstring flexibility range of motion in Mulligan bent leg raise as compared to Neurodynamic sliding group. Conclusion The study concluded that Mulligan Bent Leg Raise and Neurodynamic Sliding technique both showed immediate decrease in hamstring tightness but Mulligan Bent Leg Raise is more effective than Neurodynamic Sliding on hamstrings flexibility in non-athletic college students.
