Summary

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of two techniques on hamstrings flexibility in trans-tibial amputees. Reduced flexibility can cause insufficiency at the workplace. Increasing flexibility is to decrease risk of injury, enhances performance and incorporate rehabilitation programs . Further studies are still needed in order to enhance patient rehabilitation protocol and anticipate the prosthetic process. Evidence based Physical therapy could be considered a valid support improving knee contractures in patients with trans-tibial amputation.This research provide an important addition to the evidence-based treatment intervention of physical therapy in amputees rehabilitation as no comparative study between Active Isolated Stretch and Post Facilitation Stretch on hamstring flexibility is done in trans-tibial Amputees.

Conditions

  • Amputation

Interventions

OTHER

active isolated stretch

Active Isolated Stretch (AIS); * The shortened hamstring muscle will be isolated. * The hamstring will be stretched. * This Stretches will be Repeated eight to 10 times. * Stretch will be hold for no more than two seconds. * Exhale on the stretch; inhale on the release. Other amputees training exercises; * weight-shifting * Dynamic balancing activities * Stool stepping * Braiding * Gait exercises * Climbing/descending the stairs

OTHER

Post Facilitation Stretch

Participants of this group will receive Post Facilitation Stretch (PFS); * The shortened hamstring muscle will be placed between a fully stretched and a fully relaxed state. * The patient will be asked to contract the hamstring using a maximum degree of effort for 5-10 seconds while the therapist will resists thepatients force. * The patient will be then asked to relax and release the effort, whereas the therapist will apply a rapid stretch to a new barrier and is held for 10 seconds. * The patient relaxes for approximately 20 seconds and the procedure will be repeated to five times (8) (18). 2\. Other amputees training exercises; * weight-shifting * Dynamic balancing activities * Stool stepping * Braiding * Gait exercises * Climbing/descending the stairs
