Global Postural Reeducation Program with hamstring stretch

Hamstring Stretch Program and Knee -flexor eccentric training

Global Postural Reeducation Program with hamstring stretch The lying posture with flexion of the legs aimed to stretch the posterior chain (upper trapezius, levator scapulae, sub occipital, erector spinae, gluteus maximus, ischio-tibial, triceps surae, and foot intrinsic muscles). The initial position will lying with the hip flexed and progression consisted of increasing hip flexion, knee extension, and dorsiflexion of the ankle All above exercises will be given and to be held for 15 minutes each. 40 min/session, 3 times/week for 6 weeks

The Oswestry Disability Index (also known as the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire) is an extremely important tool that researchers and disability evaluators use to measure a patient's permanent functional disability. The test is considered the 'gold standard' of low back functional outcome tools. For each section the total possible score is 5: if the first statement is marked the section score = 0; if the last statement is marked, it = 5.

0% to 20%: minimal disability 81%-100% exaggerating symptoms.

A numerical rating scale (NRS) requires the patient to rate their pain on a defined scale. For example, 0-10 where 0 is no pain and 10 is the worst pai

A goniometer is an instrument which measures the available range of motion at a joint.

A large Universal Goniometer having 12-inch arms and full-circle plastic body will be used for measuring Assisted Range of Motion (AROM) for hamstring length, it is a useful measurement tool that can be used to do the Active knee extension test. An active knee-extension test has been shown to be a reliable method of assessing hamstring tightness and has good intra-tester reliability [intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC): 0.97-0.98]
