Includes bibliographical references (leaves 59-72). There is a lack of evidence regarding the mechanisms underlying and the factors contributing to lower back pain (LBP) in paddlers.The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between lumbar mobility and hamstring flexibility, which are associated with LBP, in paddlers with and without LBP. Thirty endurance paddlers participated, divided equally into a case group (all presented with paddling-associated LBP in the six months prior to testing) and a control group (none with with a history of LBP). Results showed that there were no significant differences in lumbar ROM between paddlers with and without a history of LBP. There was a significant reduction in unilateral hamstring flexibility in the case group. There was a tendency for a negative relationship between average hamstring flexibility and lumbar ROM in the case group. 2015-01-06T18:44:33Z 2015-01-06T18:44:33Z 2011 Master Thesis Masters MPhil http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11588 eng application/pdf Division of Physiotherapy Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town |
