Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of lumbopelvic stabilization on hamstrings muscle stretching in individuals with history of low back pain suspected to have a clinical lumbar instability.

Conditions

  • Back Pain
  • Instability Lumbar Spine
  • Muscle Tightness

Interventions

OTHER

Lumbopelvic stiffening technique

Participants will stretch their hamstrings muscle in standing position with lumbopelvic stiffening technique. Fifteen percent of the body weight will be used to standardize stretching force. During stretching protocol, the participants will be instructed to face the hydraulic table with their hips square, maintain trunk straight up and look straight ahead. Researcher commands "during adjusting the bed up, please tense your back rigid". After that, hydraulic bed will be lifted up until force reaches 15 percent of the body weight. Participant will perform 30 seconds/repetition for 4 repetitions with 15 seconds rest between repetitions.

OTHER

Lumbopelvic relaxing technique

Participants will be instructed to face the hydraulic table with their hips square, maintain trunk straight up and look straight ahead. The researcher commands "During adjusting the bed up, please relax your back". The hydraulic bed will be lifted up until force reaches 15 percent of the body weight.
