Effects of Mulligan Bent Leg Raise With and Without Bowen Therapy on Hamstring Tightness in Asymptomatic Adults
A study testing Mulligan bent leg raise and Mulligan bent leg raise with Bowen therapy in people with Asymptomatic Condition, run by Riphah International University at 1 site in Pakistan.
Trial summary
Hamstring tightness is a common problem caused by a sedentary lifestyle and can have negative effects on posture and musculoskeletal function. It can lead to postural misalignment, increasing loading on the lumbar spine, increased pressure on inter-vertebral disc and potentially resulting in low back problems. Read more about this study

About this study
Hamstring tightness is a common problem caused by a sedentary lifestyle and can have negative effects on posture and musculoskeletal function. It can lead to postural misalignment, increasing loading on the lumbar spine, increased pressure on inter-vertebral disc and potentially resulting in low back problems. Bowen technique and Mulligan Bent leg raise is used to treat conditions including hamstring tightness.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of mulligan bent leg raise with and without Bowen therapy on hamstring tightness in asymptomatic adults.
Read the detailed description
A randomized control trial will be conducted at Riphah Rehabilitation Center and Physiogic Physiotherapy clinic on 50 asymptomatic adults who meet the inclusion criteria will be recruited using non probability purposive sampling and randomly allocated using Random Allocation Software 2.0. Informed consent will be obtained from all participants. They will be divided into two groups which will contain 25 participants in each group. Group A will receive three alternate sessions of Mulligan Bent Leg Raise with Bowen therapy and Group B will receive three alternate sessions of Mulligan Bent leg Raise. The Mulligan Bent Leg Raise technique will be performed with 3 repetition, 3-4 times with 20 sec hold and one minute rest between each repetition.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Active Knee Extension Test
The Active Knee Extension Test is used to assess hamstring muscle length and the range of active knee extension in the position of hip flexion. A knee flexion angle of 20 ° or less is considered normal ROM on the AKE. The AKE has been found to have high reliability for intra-rater agreement (ICC = .86-.99) and moderate inter-rater reliability (ICC = .76-.89)
Measured: 1 week
Sit and Reach Test
The Sit and reach test is one of the linear flexibility tests which helps to measure the extensibility of the hamstrings and lower back. Previous studies indicated that reliability estimate for Sit and reach test are consistently higher (.96 < R < .99)
Measured: 1 week
Straight Leg Raise Test
also called the Lasegue test, Normal ROM for the PSLR has been reported as 80 ° of hip flexion. The PSLR has been reported to have high intra-rater (r = .91) and inter-rater (r = .93) reliability
Measured: 1 week
