Brief Summary

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

The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between hamstring length and gluteus maximus strength with and without normalization in patients with mechanical low back pain

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

seventy-three patients diagnosed as mechanical low back pain. Firstly, gluteus maximus (GM) strength was measured isometrically as a force (kg) and then converted to torque (Nm). GM strength was normalized for body weight and height using the following formula: % (body weight × h) = torque (N × m) ×100 / body weight (N) × h (m), then assessment of hamstring length flexibility using the active knee extension method.

Data was collected and the correlation was determined.
