Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a control-case study. It has been designed to determine if there is a relationship between the cross sectional (thickness), through RUSI ultrasound, of the abdominal muscles, lumbar and hip muscles with the results of the functional tests, to determine its relevance in patients with low back pain and / or ciatalgia and lumbar disc herniation in non-professional athletes. The secondary objectives of the study will be to know if there is a relationship between the results of ultrasound measurements and functional tests with the result of the disability questionnaires, the amount of pain and its location, as well as determine the relevance, depending on the results of ultrasound measurements and test of the presence or not of a lumbar disc herniation.
