Abstract: This study has been undertaken to investigate Relationship between Low Back Pain and Hamstring Tightness with objective of evaluating any relationship between Low Back Pain and Hamstring tightness by using A double arm plastic goniometer as an experimental tool to measure popliteal angle and by using the experimental design regarding the selection of subjects, selection of experimental variable, testing program. One group consisting of 50 patients with Low Back Pain for a period of more than 6 months and another group consisting of 50 patients without low back pain were taken for this study. With regard to selection of patients under each group, enough care has been taken to establish one to one correspondence of individuals in two groups with sex and age. 76% of the study group with No Low Back Pain had Hamstring tightness to the extent of 400.78% of the study group with Low Back Pain had Hamstring tightness above 400, suggesting the relationship between Hamstring tightness and Low Back Pain clearly. It may be concluded that the Hamstring tightness differs significantly between the patients with Low Back Pain and with No Low Back Pain. Hence, the possibility of a relationship between Hamstring tightness and Low Back Pain is justified. It is so for both right side and left side.
