“…Clinically, the measurement of hamstring muscle length is used to measure lower back pain 26 ) , and the correlation between lower back pain and hamstring muscle length has been explained by the report—patients with lower back pain had significantly decreased hamstring muscle length 27 ) . In this experiment, the diagnosis of radicular pain significantly decreased in both groups after therapy was performed.…”

[Purpose] In this paper, hamstring stretching and nerve mobilization are conducted on patients with radicular lower back pain, and changes to pain levels, pressure thresholds, angles of knee joint extension, and disorder levels of lower back pain were studied. [Subjects and Methods] The subjects were divided into two groups: one group conducted hamstring stretches and was comprised of 6 male and 5 female subjects, and the other group received nerve mobilization treatment and was comprised of 5 male and 6 female subjects. [Results] Pain level and the disorder index of lower back pain were significantly alleviated after the intervention in both groups. Pressure threshold and angles of knee extension were significantly increased after the intervention in both groups. Comparing the two groups, the alleviation of pain was more significant in the nerve mobilization group. [Conclusion] Patients with radicular lower back pain showed significant differences in pain level, pressure threshold, knee extension angle, and disorder index of lower back pain for both the hamstring stretching group and nerve mobilization group after the treatment. Hamstring stretching and nerve mobilization can be usefully applied for the therapy of patients with radicular lower back pain.

“…The PTAT was not significantly different between the three interventions, and between pre and post intervention. However, according to other previous research, Fasuyi FO et al [23] reported that subjects without lower back pain had significantly longer hamstring length compared to participants with lower back pain, and the pelvic tilt angle was not significantly different. However, Król A et al [24] found that the relationship between hamstring length and lower back pain was not significant, and that the length did not significantly affect the pelvic tilt.…”

Muscle length Pelvic tilt Range of motion Sex characteristics Testing positionBackground: The range of pelvic tilt is one of modifiable risk factors in preventing the lower back pain. Objects:The purpose of this study were to compare the range of pelvic tilt motion by testing position and sex.Methods: One hundred five young adults (61 females and 44 males) agreed to participate in measuring the anterior and posterior pelvic tilt with the PALM (Palpation Meter) in sitting and standing. The range of pelvic tilt motion was defined as the difference between the pelvic anterior and posterior tilt angles. Results:In general, the anterior pelvic tilt was greater (p < 0.01) in standing than in sitting and the posterior pelvic tilt was lesser (p < 0.01) in sitting than in standing. The anterior pelvic tilt in sitting and standing was greater (p < 0.01) in the females than in the males. However, the effect of sex on the posterior pelvic tilt was only significant in sitting (p < 0.01), but not in standing (p = 0.78). The range of pelvic tilt was greater (p = 0.03) in sitting but not significantly (p = 0.07) affected by the sex. Conclusion:The pelvic tilt motion in these young adults showed large variability and further studies are needed to understand better its relationship to the prevalence of the lower back disorders.
