Summary

Background:

Anterolisthesis presents with tightness of hamstring muscle which is a major contributing factor for low back pain and disability. Suboccipital Myofascial release decreases the tension in the fascia and helps to amend the muscle imbalance. There is a presence of superficial backline between suboccipitalis and hamstring muscle.

Aim:

The purpose of the study is to find out the effect of sub occipital myofascial release on hamstring tightness along with pain and disability associated with it in Anterolisthesis.

Methods:

The study will recruit individuals with Anterolisthesis between the age of 35- 55. Pathologies which will limit or interfere with the test outcome shall be excluded. The samples will be collected using criterion based sampling. Procedure will be explained prior to the intervention

Data analysis:

Normality of the collected data will be established by Shapiro Wilk Test. Based on the normality, descriptive statistics data will be expressed as mean ± standard deviation or median and intra quartile range. Within group comparison will be done by paired t test or Wilcoxon signed rank test and between group comparison will be done through independent t test or Mann Whitney U test.

Conditions

  • Anterolisthesis

Interventions

OTHER

Suboccipital myofascial release

The MFR technique will be given in the upper cervical region with the patient in supine position. The MFR will be given for three repetitions per session, three times per week for the period of four weeks.

OTHER

Conventional Physiotherapy

The control group will be receiving conventional physiotherapy treatment for hamstring tightness which includes static stretching, modified hold-relax stretching and contract relax technique.
