Use of PNF and Tissue Flossing to Treat Hamstring Tightness in Young Female Students

Comparative Effects of Tissue Flossing and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation on Hamstring Flexibility and Knee Range of Motion in Young Female Students

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 60 (actual)
• Sponsor: Sakshi Negi · Academic / Other
• Sex: Female
• Age: 18 Years – 25 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn tissue flossing and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation effect in treating hamstring muscle tightness. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. which technique is more useful in giving instant relaxation of hamstring muscle 2. can these technique increase muscle flexibility and knee motion Researchers will compare Tissue flossing to a PNF (Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) to see which on is more effective. Participant will: 1. be provided one technique either tissue flossing or PNF in first day 2. physiotherapist will immediately measure the the change in flexibility or knee motion 2\. another technique will be applied after 1 week 3. again change in flexibility and knee motion will be recorded

Conditions

• Hamstring Tightness
• Muscle Tightness

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	tissue floss band	Floss band is wrapped in thigh from distal to proximal for 2 minutes. during this period patient is asked to actively perform movement for 2 minute, after that the band is removed and repeated once more. Immediately followed by flexibility measurements
OTHER	Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation	Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) Stretching using the hold-relax method: participants perform an isometric contraction of the hamstring at the end of its stretch range , followed by relaxation and passive stretch, then flexibility assessed similarly
