Mulligan Straight Leg Raising Versus Post Facilitation Stretch on Hamstring Flexibility in Physiotherapy Students: Randomized Controlled Trial

There are several research on Mulligan's techniques that have demonstrated their effectiveness in lowering hamstring tightness, and Mulligan is a pain-free therapy that may be used on any patients complaining of low back pain and hamstring tightness. the purpose of this preliminary study was to determine the effect of Mulligan technique versus post facilitation stretch technique on hamstring flexibility in healthy subjects

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: Single

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Group I
received mulligan straight leg raising
Other: mulling Straight leg raising technique
Subject was in supine lying, therapist stood at the side of limited, therapist placed subjects flexed knee over therapists shoulder and subject was asked to push therapist away with his leg and then relax. At this point therapist pushed subjects bent knee up as far as in the direction of shoulder.
Experimental: group II
received post facilitation stretch on hamstring muscles
Other: post facilitation stretch
Muscle energy technique was applied using post facilitation stretch While the participant lying in supine position, the pelvis was strapped down to the table for stabilization and control on accessory movement and the contralateral limb was securely strapped down to the table to prevent excessive hip and pelvic rotations during procedures.The participant's hip was passively flexed and the leg extended until tension was sensed and the participant reported a moderate stretching sensation.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Active knee extension test
Time Frame: after two months
Active knee extension test( popliteal angle) is an objective test for measuring tightness of hamstring muscles with electro goniometer while active knee extension. It has been showed excellent inter-rater and intra-rater reliability for assessing hamstring flexibility in asymptomatic healthy adults
after two months
Passive compliance
Time Frame: after two months
Passive compliance is defined as the ratio of change in angle to the change in passive force. A handheld dynamometer (HHD; Micro Manual Muscle Tester; North Coast Medical Inc.) was used to measure the passive torque.
after two months
