An interventional study of Neurodynamic Sliding and Static Stretching in Healthy Individuals With Hamstring Tightness, sponsored by University of Lahore. Completed at 1 site in Pakistan. Open to participants aged 25 Years to 40 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2021-10-13.

Hamstring muscle are more likely to shorten among all biarticular muscles of human body. One of the many factors of hamstring tightness is increased tension in the neural structure. Apart from routine stretching techniques, mobilization of nervous system proves to be more effective. There are lot of stretching techniques available but they are more effective after multiple sessions. This study aims to cater the problem of hamstring tightness by neural sliding and static stretching in minimum sessions and compare which technique is more effective in resolving the issue.
Randomized Controlled Trials was used to collect data. Total patients were selected in two group with each 31 subjects. Purposive sampling technique was used. Experimental group will receive routine physical therapy along with TENS, Hot pack and Neurodynamic Stretching. (For 30 seconds, 3 times per session for 3 alternative days a week \& duration of 4 weeks). Outcome measure will be the hamstring tightness value angle in degrees, which will be obtained with the help of goniometer after performing active knee extension test and active straight leg raise test
University of Lahore is the lead sponsor of 223 studies on the registry; 40 are open to participants now.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Exclusion Criteria:
participents receive routine physical therapy along with TENS, Hot pack and Neurodynamic Stretching. (For 30 seconds, 3 times per session for 3 alternative days a week \& duration of 4 weeks).
Other: Neurodynamic Sliding
Participent receive the routine physical therapy treatment that will include TENS, Hot pack and static stretching for 30 seconds and 3 times per session for 3 alternative days a week (duration of 4 weeks).
Other: Static Stretching
Participants supine with their cervical and thoracic spine supported in a forward flexed position. Simultaneous hip and knee flexion will be alternated dynamically with simultaneous hip and knee extension. The therapist will change the arrangement of movement depending on the tissue resistance level.
Participent lying supine, the therapist will passively position the subject into the straight leg raise position without discomfort or pain to the point where resistance to movement will be first felt.
Change from Baseline in Hamstring flexibility assessed with Active Knee Extension Test
This test is use to measure Hamstring tightness. 0 degree indicates more hamstring flexibility
Time frame: Baseline, 2nd Week, 4th week
Change from Baseline in Hamstring flexibility assessed with Straight Leg raise
This test is use to measure hamstring tightness. 90 degree indicates more hamstring flexibility
Time frame: Baseline, 2nd Week, 4th week
