Examining the Effects of a Mobilization With Movement and a Dynamic Stretch With Over Pressure on Hip Flexion.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of a mobilization with movement (MWM) technique performed by a physical therapist with those of a dynamic stretch with over pressure on active hip flexion range of motion (ROM) in those with active hip flexion ROM limitations. There is limited evidence available in the literature examining the therapeutic effects of MWM at the hip, the long term effects of MWM, or whether one modality is more effective than another. This study seeks to address these gaps in the literature by directly comparing the results of these two manual therapy interventions on active hip flexion ROM.
