AI-Integrated Physical Therapy: Feasibility of A Smart Rehabilitation App for Bankart Lesion Recovery

Abstract

Purpose: Hamstring is the muscle that frequently gets tight.Hamstring muscle tightens due to many causes e.g.hamstring strain, obesity, anterior pelvic tilting, etc. Females with reduced hamstring limberness are more prone to low back pain, lower extremity injuries, altered posture and gait.To determine the efficacy of sub occipital MET along with passive hamstring stretch and sacroiliac manipulation with passive hamstring stretch in females to increase hamstring flexibility.Methods: This Quasi-experimental trial conducted in physical therapy department of Ameer Medical Complex and District Headquarter Jauharabad.The method of consecutive sampling was applied for collection of the data.A sample of 28 female patients was recruited in two groups.The Group A was given sub-occipital muscle energy technique and hamstring stretch and Group B was treated with sacroiliac manipulation and hamstring stretch.Each group treated for 4 weeks with 3 sessions per week.Outcome measures were NPRS, straight leg raise and Active knee extension test, recorded before treatment and at the end of 12 treatment sessions.Results: It was observed that sub occipital MET with hamstring stretch was more effective than sacroiliac manipulation with hamstring stretch to increase hamstring flexibility and over all wellbeing of females.Mean and Standard Deviation of this score was less than other group [p-value = 0.000 and Significant p< 0.05)]. Conclusion:The sub occipital MET with hamstring stretch is more consistent and reliable to increase hamstring flexibility in females than SIJ manipulation with hamstring stretch.
