The role of the hip joint in low back pain treatment
Low back pain (LBP) is one of the most challenging musculoskeletal conditions that lead to long-term functional limitations. In addition, there are some assumptions that a limited hip range of motion plays a role in LBP by resulting in compensatory motions of the lumbopelvic region, more specifically in the lumbar spine and the pelvis, which may contribute to the onset of LBP and its severity. The authors of this article review current studies on the im-portance of considering hip joint movement in the treatment of LBP.
