Brief Summary

Low back pain is one of the most common complaints in the world and can be considered a universal health problem for humanity. Low back pain is a multifactorial disease with multiple etiologies. Risk factors are difficult to identify. It is reported in the literature that 70-80% of the world's population has low back pain at some point in their lives, and 95% of this pain is mechanical. Mechanical low back pain (MBA) can be described as a clinical picture that develops as a result of overuse, strain, traumatization or deformation of the structures that make up the spine. In order to define low back pain mechanically, all organic causes such as inflammatory, infectious, tumoral, metabolic causes, fractures and pain reflected from internal organs must be excluded. The most common diseases that cause low back pain are; They are caused by mechanical factors and degenerative diseases. Mechanical and static stresses can lead to joint blockage, restricting the range of motion of the joint along with pain. Non-Specific many factors affect low back pain. Kim and Shin reported that asymmetry of hip extension range of motion of both hip joints was associated with nonspecific low back pain rather than simple hip extension range of motion, and they found that limiting hip extension was compensatory.
