Brief Summary

This cross-sectional observational study investigates the relationship between hip joint mobility and thoracic flexion in patients diagnosed with non-specific low back pain. Altered hip range of motion may influence spinal mechanics and contribute to thoracolumbar dysfunction. The study aims to determine whether a significant correlation exists between hip mobility and thoracic flexion in adults with chronic non-specific low back pain.

Conditions

Non-specific Low Back Pain; Low Back Pain; Musculoskeletal Disorders; Thoracic Spine Dysfunction

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Hip Joint Range of Motion

  Hip flexion, extension, internal rotation, and external rotation measured in degrees using a universal goniometer.

  Single assessment session (baseline)

• Correlation Between Hip Mobility and Thoracic Flexion

  Correlation analysis between hip joint range of motion and thoracic flexion mobility using appropriate statistical tests.

  Single assessment session (baseline)

Study Arms (1)

Patients with Non-Specific Low Back Pain

Adults aged 18 to 45 years diagnosed with non-specific low back pain for more than three months. Participants underwent assessment of hip joint range of motion using a goniometer and thoracic flexion mobility using a Spinal Mouse device during a single evaluation session. No therapeutic intervention was administered.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 45 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample
