Brief Summary

This study will be conducted to investigate the correlation between the flexibility of hip muscles; hip flexors (iliopsoas, rectus femoris), hip extensors (hamstring), hip internal rotators, hip external rotators, hip adductors and hip abductors with pain intensity and disability level among patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain

Conditions

Non Specific Low Back Pain

Keywords

Correlation; Flexibility of Hip Muscles; Pain; Disability; Nonspecific Low Back Pain

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Flexibility of Hip Muscles

  Flexibility of the muscles of hip will be conducted on both the right and lift side and will be measure by universal Goniometer

  up to 1 day

• Pain Intensity

  Visual analog scale is globally used as a measure of pain intensity. Visual analogue scale is the most frequent outcome tools in musculoskeletal pain assessment. An overall score between 0 and 10 points is given, with 'no pain' defined as 0 points and 'the most severe pain possible' defined as 10 points.

  up to 1 day

• Disability

  Oswestry disability index is an internally consistent, unidimensional scale with overall excellent construct validity and ability to discriminate the severity of functional disability. The analysis suggests that the Oswestry disability index may better distinguish between the relative degrees of function at above-average disability levels. The Oswestry disability index is used to assess the extent of disability caused by low back pain, The Oswestry disability index consists of 10 questions on pain intensity, personal care, lifting, walking, sitting, standing, sleeping, sexual activity, social life, and travel. Performance in each item is described in 6 stages, from 0 to 5 points, A higher score on the Oswestry disability index indicates more severe disability

  up to 1 day
