Immediate Effect of Active Release Technique Versus Muscle Energy Technique in Subjective with Hamstring Tightness: A Rendomized Clinical Trial

Research Topic: To study and compare the effectiveness of active release technique and muscle energytechnique in subjects with hamstring tightness.Method: 60 normal healthy subjects (30 in each group) were recruited in the study under simple randomizationmethod. Group A received single session of Active Release Technique and Group B received single sessionof Muscle Energy Technique for hamstring tightness. Active knee extension test (90-90 test) were measuredpre-intervention and post-intervention. Data was analyzed using t-test.Results: Statically there is significant (p<0.05) effect of active release technique than the muscle energytechnique on subjects with hamstring tightness.Conclusion: A single session of active release technique is better as compared to muscle energy techniqueto improve hamstring flexibility and range of motion. There for active release technique can be used withconventional techniques in clinical settings.
