Objective: To assess lumbopelvic stability and hip extensor strength in persons with non-specific LBP & normal healthy individuals.

Study Design: Cross-Sectional Observational Study

Study Setting: Pain Clinics

Participants: 50 healthy individuals and 50 with Non-Specific LBP

Interventions: It was an Observational Study. Ethical Committee approval was taken. 110 persons were divided into 2 groups: Group A (control group) and Group B (LBP Group). Training of Abdominal Draw-In Maneuver was given using pressure biofeedback for 3 days and assessed using Sahrmann’s Test. Isometric hip extensor strength was assessed using Isokinetic dynamometer. Data was analysed using Wilcoxian Signed-Rank Test and Mann-Whitney U Test.

Outcome Measures: Sahrmann’s Lumbopelvic Stability Test and Hip Extensor Peak Torque

Results: Lumbopelvic stability of LBP group was significantly lesser than control group. Between group comparison of dominant as well as non-dominant limb torque did not show any significant difference.

Conclusion: Lumbopelvic stability was significantly lesser in persons with non-specific LBP group. In across group comparison, hip extensors strength did not show significant difference in dominant as well as non-dominant limb
