Kinematic and Kinetic Effects of Alterations in Lumbar Lordosis in People with Tight Hamstrings
… investigated further in this thesis, is tight hamstrings. Specifically, the effect of hamstring length on pelvic position during gait and activities of daily living under normal and altered spinal position were investigated as part of this study in a motion analysis lab.</p> <p>First, a …

A Subject Specific Surface Electromyography Model For Estimating L4/L5 Compressive Loading
… LBP cases. Heavy loading of the lumbar spine and tight hamstrings have been identified as risk factors for LBP. Tight hamstrings pull the pelvis posteriorly and reduce the lordosis of the spine, resulting in increased loading of the lumbar vertebral bodies of the spine. While this mechanism has …

The Long Term Effects of Short-Wave Diathermy and Long-Duration Static Stretch on Hamstring Flexibility
… Thirty college-age students with tight hamstrings (inability to achieve >160° knee extension at 90° hip flexion) participated. Subjects were assigned to 1 of 3 groups, (diathermy and stretch; sham diathermy and stretch; control). Range of motion was recorded before and after each …

Determination of the Functional Relationship Between Lumbar Lordosis and Pelvic Tilt
… pelvic tilt. However, subjects with clinically tight hamstrings responded significantly different to a hyper-tensioned clavicle strap. Similarly, -5 to 9 deg change in lumbar lordosis did not correlate with changes in pelvic tilt during sit-to-stand or stand-to-sit activities. Changes in …

The Effect of Hamstring Lengthening on Pelvic Tilt and Lumbar Lordosis
<p>A direct correlation between hamstring tightness and severity of lower back pain (LBP) has been previously reported. Hamstring contraction creates knee flexion, hip extension and posterior pelvic tilt. Posterior pelvic tilt causes the lumbar spine to flatten (hypolordosis) which places pressure …
