Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study are to compare angles of hip joint between before and after releasing quadratus lumborum muscle.

Condition or Disease	Intervention/Treatment	Phase
Muscle	Other: releasing muscle	N/A

Detailed Description

The 1st physical therapist performed the modified Thomas test position. The participant was asked to lie supine over the edge of the couch. The participant hold one knee to the chest tightly while the other knee was bent over the end of the couch. The 2nd physical therapist measured angles of hip and knee using a standard goniometer at baseline. The quadratus lumborum muscle was released. Then the same measurement was repeated.

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/Treatment
Other: releasing muscle The physical therapist placed thumbs on the quadratus lumborum to release muscle.	Other: releasing muscle; At baseline, hip and knee angles were measured. The quadratus lumborum muscle was released. After that, the hip and knee angles were re-measured.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

1. Hip flexion angle [5 minutes]

   Range of motion (ROM) of hip flexion

Other Outcome Measures

1. Knee flexion angle [5 minutes]

   Range of motion (ROM) of knee flexion
