Post Facilitation Stretch, Post Isometric Relaxation and Myofascial Release in Spastic Cerebral Palsy.

"For hamstring muscle, the patient positioned in supine with hip and knee flexed to mid- range. For calf muscle, the patient positioned in supine with straight leg. Now therapist ask the subjects to isometrically contract the hamstring and calf using 30 % of the strength for 15 seconds by attempting to push the leg back toward the therapist and relax. The therapist then passively stretched the muscle until a mild stretch sensation was reported. The stretch was held for another 10 seconds. This sequence will repeat 5 times on each subject in the group.~Stretching of the hip flexors, adductors and plantar flexors. Functional training includes bridging, kneeling and sit to stand."

"For hamstring muscle, the patient positioned in supine with hip and knee flexed. For calf muscle, the patient positioned in supine with straight leg. Now therapist ask the subjects to isometrically contract the hamstring and calf using 25 % of the strength for 7-10 seconds by attempting to push the leg back toward the therapist and relax.After relaxation, the therapist further extends the knee for 3 to 5 seconds.. This sequence will repeat 5 times on each subject in the group.~Stretching of the hip flexors, adductors and plantar flexors. Functional training includes bridging, kneeling and sit to stand."

"MFR for Hamstring muscle will be given with patient in prone position with 120 second hold. For giving the MFR, the thumb of the therapist will be allowed to sink in to the central portion of the hamstring. It will held for 120 seconds to allow the tissue to soften and then myofascial structures will spread in a lateral direction until feeling of first fascial barrier. MFR will be performed for 15 mins.~Stretching of the hip adductors, hip flexors and plantar flexors. Functional training includes kneeling, bridging and sit to stand."
