| Popis: | Aim: To compare the immediate effects between Neuromuscular therapy, Active release technique and Stretching among the individuals with piriformis tightness. Method: A total of 42 male subjects between the age group 18-25 years with piriformis tightness were equally allocated to receive Neuromuscular therapy (Group A), Active release technique (Group B) and Stretching as conventional management (Group C). Outcome assessment for piriformis tightness included Visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain measurement, Oswestry disability index (ODI) and Hip internal rotation ROM (range of motion). Result: All the interventions significantly improved VAS, ODI and Hip IR ROM immediately post treatment within groups whereas the inter group analysis showed significant difference in Hip IR ROM between groups but no significant difference was found in VAS and ODI. Conclusion: Neuromuscular therapy and Active release technique both were effective than Stretching, but the mean difference of Neuromuscular therapy is superior in treatment of piriformis tightness followed by Active release technique and Stretching respectively. |
