About this study
Official title: Effects of Mulligan's Bent Leg Raise Technique on Hamstring Flexibility and Lumber Spine Mobility in Healthy Females
To determine the effects of mulligan's bent leg raise technique on hamstring flexibility and lumber spine mobility in healthy females
Read the detailed description
Flexibility is a pivotal constituent of the physical fitness and held as an integral aspect that capacitate the person to move smoothly and safely. Although the flexibility of all the muscles of the body is essential for normal human function, the flexibility of hamstring muscle is much emphasized. Investigations suggest adequate flexibility of the Hamstring muscles is compulsory for a healthy lower back. Lack of hamstring muscles extensibility conditions a decrease of pelvic mobility. This invariably leads to biomechanical changes in the pressure distribution of the spine and consequent spinal disorders.
This study will be a randomized control trial and will be conducted in health sciences collage in Bahawalpur. The study will be completed within the time duration of six months. Convenient sampling technique will be used to collect the data. The sample size of 48 patients will be taken in this study to find the Effects of Mulligan's bent leg raise technique on hamstring flexibility and lumber spine mobility in healthy females. Patient will be divided into two groups. Static Stretching will be given to both group as a baseline treatment. (Group A will be treated with Mulligan's bent leg raise techniques and static stretching Group B will be treated with static stretching only. Participants will be assessed for hamstring tightness with Active Knee Extension Test (AKET) and readings will be noted and lumbar mobility will be assess using Modified Schober Test (MMST). Assessments will be done at baseline and post intervention on 5th and 10th day. Intervention will be given 5 days per week for two weeks. Data will be analyzed on SPSS 25.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Mulligan Bent Leg Raise TechniqueOther
Participant will be in supine lying on a high couch with the resting on the shoulder. A distraction (longitudinal traction force along the long axis of femur) will be investigator in walk stand position lateral to the leg, which to be stretch. Hip and Knee of the side to be stretch will bent at 90˚- 90 ˚. Participant's flexed knee will be placed over the shoulder, the popliteal fossa of the knee applied at the lower end of femur and the participant will ask to push the shoulder with his or her leg followed by voluntary relaxation.The traction will maintained throughout the technique.
Static StretchingOther
It will be given in supine position by performing passive SLR and end range will hold in 30sec.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Mulligan's bent leg raise Technique | Experimental | Mulligan's bent leg raise Technique and Static Stretching Receives: Other: Mulligan Bent Leg Raise Technique; Other: Static Stretching |
| Static stretching | Active comparator | Static Stretching Receives: Other: Static Stretching |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Active Knee Extension Test (AKET)
The subject lies supine on a firm table with their head back and arms folded across the chest.
The hip is passively flexed until the thigh is vertical - use the spirit level to measure the position of the thigh.
The opposite leg is placed in a fully extended position on the table.
Measured: 10 days
Modified Schobber's Test
The validity of the modified-modified Schober test is moderate (r=0.67) with an excellent interclass (r=0.91) and intraclass (r=95) reliability
Measured: 10 days

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Mulligan Bent Leg Raise Technique and Static Stretching in people with Hamstring Contractures, run by Riphah International University at 1 site in Pakistan.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Aug 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Pakistan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Active Knee Extension Test (AKET) (time frame: 10 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04716205, which also lists 11 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Aug 2021.
