Summary
identification of optimal duration for hamstring muscle stretch by using 3 different time of stretch 15,30,60 seconds .100 subjects will be participated in this study divided into 4 group one control and 3 experimental groups according to stretch time.
Detailed description
Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of variable stretching intervals on neural function and ROM. DESIGN: Randomized controlled trial Participants: In this trial, 100 participants will participate in the study diagnosed with tight hamstring muscles (defined as the inability to extend the knee to less than 20° of knee flexion) were randomly assigned to the control group or one of the 3 intervention groups Interventions: The three experimental groups will stretched 5 times per week for 4 weeks for 15, 30, and 60 seconds, respectively the control group did not stretch Main Outcome Measures: The neurophysiological outcome measures included peak to peak somatosensory evoked potential for dermatomes L3,L4,L5, and S1. Secondary outcome measures included knee ROM. All outcome measures will be assessed immediately after the treatment session and 24 hours after the treatment session.

| PROCEDURE | stretch hamstring | Stretching of the hamstring muscles was performed by the primary researcher. A straight-leg-raising technique was used for this stretch because we believe that it is commonly used in the clinical setting for elderly people. All subjects were supine lying as flat as possible |
