Hip muscle lengthening is commonly associated with the normal function of the lumbar spine and lower extremities. Some evidence correlates hamstring and iliopsoas tightness with low back pain (LBP). Undergraduates are more prone to LBP as they are involved in prolonged sitting and poor posture. This study aims to assess the impact of hip muscle lengthening on LBP. This article involves a descriptive study of 70 students who were recruited from Zefat Academic College. Measurement of hamstrings and iliopsoas muscle lengthening, as well as a constructive questionnaire, were used. The majority of participants (80% for hamstrings and 96% for iliopsoas) manifested normal muscle lengthening. Muscle flexibility was significantly higher among females. Logistic regression analyses revealed that hamstring lengthening (right) and stress-related study are significantly associated with LBP. The current study indicates that muscle length is female-dependent and right-left muscle length is symmetrical. Increased hamstring length could be related to LBP.
髋部肌肉拉长通常与腰椎和下肢的正常功能相关。一些证据表明，腘绳肌和髂腰肌紧张与腰痛（LBP）有关。大学生由于长时间坐着且姿势不良，更容易患腰痛。本研究旨在评估髋部肌肉拉长对腰痛的影响。本文涉及一项对从采法特学术学院招募的70名学生的描述性研究。采用了腘绳肌和髂腰肌拉长的测量方法以及一份建设性问卷。大多数参与者（腘绳肌为80%，髂腰肌为96%）表现出正常的肌肉拉长。女性的肌肉柔韧性明显更高。逻辑回归分析显示，腘绳肌拉长（右侧）和与压力相关的学习与腰痛显著相关。当前研究表明，肌肉长度因性别而异，左右肌肉长度对称。腘绳肌长度增加可能与腰痛有关。
