- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study was to shorten the posterior femoral muscle in Chinese characters for non-specific chronic low back pain. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between the degree of left-right imbalance of posterior femoral shortening, pain intensity, disability index, compensatory lumbar flexion, and compensatory lumbar rotation. A clear negative correlation was established between femoral muscle shortening, pain intensity, and disability index (P<0.5), and a strong positive correlation was established with lumbar flexion (P<0.5). Between lumbar rotation was not statistically significant (P>0.5). A clear positive correlation was established with the left-right imbalance of the hamstring shortening and pain intensity (P<0.5), and a strong positive correlation was established with the disability index (P<0.5), and a distinct negative correlation with lumbar flexion was established. A correlation was established (P<0.5), and a clear positive correlation was established with compensatory lumbar rotation (P<0.5). According to the results of the study, the shortening of the hamstrings is related to pain intensity, disability index, and lumbar flexion movement, so it is thought that it should be considered during treatment. In addition, if there is a left-right imbalance in the shortening of the femoris muscle, compensatory lumbar rotation occurs, which causes a non-ideal mechanical load on the spine and is thought to be related to the pain.
