Hip joint kinematic assessment in chronic non-specific low back pain patients. A Delphi study.

Background: Chronic nonspecific low back pain (CNSLBP) has been associated with movement impairment (MI) of the hip joint. However, evidence supporting this is inconsistent. Agreement from experts may provide rationale and recommendations for the assessment of the hip joint in the management of CNSLBP patients.

Is there an association between hip range of motion and nonspecific low back pain? A systematic review.

Objective: To systematically review whether there is an association between hip range of motion (ROM) and nonspecific low back pain (NSLBP).

Data Sources: MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane library, PsychINFO, CINAHL and AMED databases were searched from year of inception until October 31st, 2018, using a combination of LBP and hip joint search terms. Commonly cited journals were also hand searched within the previous two years.
