Comparison of the Immediate Effects of Two Types of Muscle Energy Techniques Applied to the Hamstring of Adults in Their Twenties With or Without Low Back Pain on the Pelvic Inclination and the Length of the Hamstring

Background: Lower back pain (LBP) is a major cause of disability and a common musculoskeletal disorder encountered at some point in life. Dysfunction of the lumbar vertebrae has been associated with decreased flexibility of the hamstrings, which exhibited a strong positive correlation with LBP. Hamstring tension affects lumbar pelvic rhythm. We aimed to activate pelvic stability with compression by Active Therapeutic Movement (ATM), muscle energy technique (MET) was applied to increase the flexibility of the hamstring.
