Abstract
Background:
Hamstring muscle has resulted a prevalence of 83.4%. Hamstring muscle is held
in shortened position as the pelvis is rotated posteriorly and knees are flexed
this leads to shortening of the muscle in a same position for a longer duration
of time. Muscle Energy Technique has a mechanism of PIR and RI to reduce
tightness. Myofascial Release Technique is a technique that reduces the
myofascial restriction.
Aim:
To find out the immediate effect of muscle energy versus myofascial release
technique on hamstring tightness in sewing machine operator.
Objective
. To study the immediate
effect of the muscle energy technique on hamstring tightness in sewing machine
operator.
. To study the Immediate
Effect of the and myofascial release technique on hamstring tightness in sewing
machine operator.
. To compare the immediate
effect of muscle energy technique versus myofascial release technique on
hamstring tightness in sewing machine operators.
Methodology: 53
sewing machine operators participated in study. These were divided into 2
groups. Group A was treated with Muscle Energy Technique and Group B with myofascial
release technique. pre and post outcome measure was assessed with active knee
extension test.
Result: The
study Resulted as a highly significant effect of both the techniques. In
further comparison Muscle Energy Technique showed a better effect than
Myofascial Release Technique.
Conclusion: The
study concluded that there is a significant immediate effect of both the
techniques in hamstring tightness but in comparison muscle energy technique has
shown better effect.
