Abstract

The article describes an experiment to identify sex differences in spinal, hip, and pelvic flexibility in subjects performing sit-and-reach (SR) trunk flexion and passive straight leg raise (SLR) exercise tests. Flexibility was determined by measuring sagittal plane thoracic, lumbar, pelvic, hip joint angles on videotapes of the exercises by computer software. Correlation coefficients of the scores suggest that the sit-and-reach test is not effective in detecting flexibility sex differences.

Abstract

The article discusses research which was conducted to evaluate the reliability of a computer software tool designed to measure spine and pelvic flexibility during the sit and reach test. Researchers evaluated the tool with 30 adults. They found that the tool was a highly objective method for assessing spine and pelvic flexibility during a video-captured sit and reach test.
