Brief Summary

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

To determine the effects of Hamstring stretching using a pressure Biofeedback unit on muscle length, pain, and functional status in patients with low back pain.

Detailed Description

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

Several studies have been conducted regarding hamstring stretching with the pelvis anteriorly tilted for treating low back pain but there is very little evidence regarding the use of a pressure biofeedback unit for maintaining anterior pelvic tilt so this study aims to find out whether the hamstring stretching while maintaining anterior pelvic tilt using pressure biofeedback is more effective than hamstring stretching without using pressure biofeedback in patients with low back pain.
