Effects of Multimodal Intervention on Pain, Range of Motion and Trunk Endurance in Patients with Hamstring Strain Injury – RCT

Abstract

INTERVENTION: Intervention 1: Intervention group: Participants will receive tens and ultrasound therapies after that strengthening exercises will be applied. For 6th weeks, All participants received a total of 18 treatment sessions over a si Xweek period which consisted of 3 treatment sessions per week. Intervention 2: Control group: This group will receive conventional physical therapy. Participants will receive regular physiotherapy interventions which includes 10 minutes of hot pack followed by TENS which continues till 6th week. After applying modalities patients will receive manual therapy sessions of stretching as well as strengthening exercises of hamstring muscles. CONDITION: Hamstring Strain Injury. ; Other specified soft tissue disorders M79.8 PRIMARY OUTCOME: Pain will be measured by visual analogue scale. Timepoint: Before intervention, During intervention (3rd week) and after intervention(6th week). Method of measurement: Visual Analogue Scale. Range of motion. Timepoint: Before intervention, During intervention (3rd week) and after intervention(6th week). Method of measurement: Range of motion will be measured by Goniometer. SECONDARY OUTCOME: Trunk Endurance. Timepoint: Before and 6th week after intervention. Method of measurement: Trunk endurance will be measured by Trunk flexor musculature, Lateral trunk musculature and Posterior trunk musculature. INCLUSION CRITERIA: Age between 18 to 30 years.
