First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether combining passive and active hamstring stretching improves flexibility more than passive stretching alone in people with chronic low back pain. Ninety adults with tight hamstrings will be randomly assigned to one of the two stretching groups. Flexibility, stiffness, and pelvic tilt are measured before and immediately after a single session. The goal is to find better rehabilitation strategies for managing low back pain.
