A Study on Co-Relationship between Static Back Extensor Endurance in Patients with Non-Specific Chronic Low Back Pain and Healthy Individual

Abstract

Background:Non-specific low back pain is defined as low back pain not attributable to a recognizable, known specific pathology. Low back pain became one of the biggest problems for public health systems in the western world during the second half of the 20th century, and now seems to be extending worldwide. The endurance of the back extensor muscles have been reported to be related to low back. Hamstrings tightness is one of the most common findings in patients with LBP. Controversy exists regarding the degree of association between these physical characteristics and LBP.
