Abstract
INTRODUCTION:- In the population of pregnant women, low back pain (LBP) and pelvic girdle pain (PGP) are rather common (20–90%), albeit a small percentage of women may experience both types of pain . The patient is put through this exam while lying supine, both legs straight, and feet spaced 20 cm apart. Without bending her knee, the woman is instructed to raise each leg in turn to a height of 20 cm above the examination table.6 More recently, a fresh method for treating hamstring tightness was developed: the Mulligans bent leg raise (BLR). Recently, this painless stretching method has been used to treat hamstring stiffness with limitation in straight leg raises (SLR).7 Mulligan has discussed two treatments that are said to help individuals with low back pain increase their range of motion in the hip flexion: the traction straight leg raise (TSLR) and the bent leg raise (BLR). Limitations in hip flexion range of motion along with low back discomfort, either with or without referred leg pain, are indications for using Mulligan's Traction Straight Leg Raise (TSLR) and Bent Leg Raise (BLR) procedures.8 AIM:-The purpose of the research is to evaluate the impact of Mulligan's Bent Leg Raise (BLR) techniques and Traction Straight Leg Raise (TSLR) reduces hamstring tightness in low back pain in postpartum. Method and Methodology: Hamstring tightness of Group A treated by Mulligan’s bent leg raise (BLR) while hamstring tightness of Group B treated by Traction straight leg raise (TSLR) to reduce the low back pain in postpartum. Result:-Under strict prescribed technical norms on hamstring tightness in low back ache in postpartum, we observed significant improvement along with the effectiveness of MB Leg raise in comparison to TS Leg raise training program. The 2t Confidence level of all tests shows significant change observed, i.e., null hypothesis is rejected, and alternate hypothesis is accepted. The P= Value is (P≤0.001) detected. Conclusion: Therefore, we came to the conclusion that, overall, the null hypothesis is rejected and the alternate hypothesis is accepted based on the findings of this study and earlier research, which indicates that the study to determine the effect of Mulligan's bent leg raise technique (MBLR) shows significant improvement in compare with traction straight leg raise technique (TSLR) on hamstring tightness in low back ache in postpartum is observed.
