Background: Passive straight leg raising (PSLR) is the common clinical test to measure of hamstring muscle length. Hip flexion angle contributes to change the lumbopelvic rotation during PSLR. Pressure biofeedback unit (PBU) is commonly used to detect lumbopelvic movement during lower limb movements. Thus, there may be the relationship between pressure of PBU and lumbopelvic motion during PSLR.
Objects: The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between pressure of PBU and lumbopelvic motion during PSLR.
Methods: Thirty two subjects participated in this study. A three-dimensional motion analysis system were used to measure the lumbopelvic angle during PSLR, while recording the pressure of PBU according to angle of PSLR by 10 degree increments. Pearson product moment correlations and linear regression analysis were used to describe the relationship between variables.
Results: The results showed that there was a significant relationship between the lumbopelvic and angle of PSLR (Pearson’s r=.83, p<.05), between the pressure of PBU and angle of PSLR (Pearson’s r=.75, p<.05), and between lumbopelvic motion and pressure of PUB (Pearson’s r=.83, p<.05). Linear regression equation using lumbopevic angle as an independent factor was as follows: Pressure of PBU = 47.35 + (2.55 × angle of lumbopelvic motion) (R2=.69, p<.05).
Conclusion: Results of the present study indicate that pressure of PBU can be used to indirectly detect the amounts of lumbobevic motion during muscle length test or stretching of hamstring.
