The aim of this study is to investigate the immediate and 24- hours effects
of Mulligan’s bent leg raise (BLR) technique and kinesio tape (KT) on hamstring
tightness. 54 subjects with hamstring tightness participated in the study and
and the subjects were randomly divided into two groups (group 1= BLR, group 2=
KT group). To assess hamstring tightness, sit and reach test was performed and
the active knee extension grade was measured with a halo goniometer.
Measurements were taken pre- intervention, 30 minutes after intervention and 24
hours after intervention. After the analyses of the measurements, statistically
significant increase were found in both groups on active knee extension and sit
and reach test (p=0,000). In comparison of the groups; after 30 min.
measurements BLR results showed statistically significant improvement than KT
(p=0,01), however after 24 hours measurements; statistically significant
improvement was detected in KT than BLR (p=0,032) on sit and reach test. On
active knee extension test BLR showed greater improvement than KT at
measurements taken after 30 minutes (p=0,00). 
There were no statistically significant differences on the other test
parameters. Both KT application and BLR technique are effective on increasing
hamstring muscle’s flexibility. It has been determined that the BLR technique
is more effective in the need of immediate effect on hamstring shortness and
the KT application is more effective when the longer effect is required.

Çalışmamızın amacı hamstring kası kısalığına
mulligan bent leg raise (BLR)  tekniği ve
kinezyoteyp (KT) uygulamasının anlık ve 24 saatlik etkisini ve belirlemektir.
Çalışmaya hamstring kısalığı olan 54 kişi katılmış ve randomize olarak iki
gruba ayrılmıştır. (grup 1= BLR grubu, grup 2= KT grubu). Hamstring kısalığını
değerlendirmek amacıyla otur-uzan testi yapılmış ve aktif diz ekstensiyon
derecesi halo gonyometre ile ölçülmüştür. 
Değerlendirmeler uygulamadan önce, 30 dakika sonra ve 24 saat sonra
yapılmıştır. Değerlendirmelerin analizi sonucunda her iki grupta da otur- uzan
testi ve aktif diz ekstensiyon derecesinde anlamlı artış gözlenmiştir
(p=0,000). Gruplar kendi aralarında karşılaştırıldığında, otur- uzan testinde
30 dakika sonra yapılan ölçümlerde BLR tekniğinin (p=0,010); 24 saat sonra
yapılan ölçümlerde ise KT uygulamasının (0.032) etkinliğinin istatistiksel
olarak daha anlamlı olduğu bulunmuştur. Aktif diz ekstensiyon derecesinde ise
30 dakika sonra yapılan ölçümlerde BLR tekniğinin (0,00) etkinliği
istatistiksel olarak daha anlamlı bulunmuştur. Diğer test parametrelerinde
istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmamıştır. Hem KT uygulaması hem
de BLR tekniği hamstring kası esnekliğinin artırılmasında etkilidir. Hamstring
kısalığına yönelik anlık etki istendiğinde BLR tekniğinin, daha uzun süreli
etki istendiğinde ise KT uygulamasının daha etkili olduğu belirlenmiştir.
