Summary

to find out the effects of sub-occipital muscle inhibition technique in combination with upper cervical spine exercises on hamstring muscle flexibility in post-laminectomy patients.

Conditions

  • Hamstring Tightness

Interventions

OTHER

Sub-occipital muscle inhibition technique

Therapist puts finger pads just beneath the superior nuchal line (below the occiput and above the C2 vertebra), and lifts the patient head slightly and apply an anterior force with cephalic traction on cervical spine this area. Then straighten the fingers to press the finger tips into muscle and hold until relaxation(30 sec) and then drop the head into palm in new position, give this technique in 10 rep/2 sets (each set have 5 repetitions).hot packs for 15 minutes prior to session, cervical muscle stretching,cervical mechanical traction for 8-10 minutes, force is applied 1/6th of the patient body weight, for C1-C2 at 0 degree of cervical flexion and for below C2 at 20 degree of cervical spine flexion and cervical muscle METs

OTHER

conventional therapy

stretching of hamstring muscle, METs, sciatic nerve glides, lower limb neurodynamics.
