Sit Reach Test Paper

Background and Purpose: The sit reach test is commonly used to assess flexibility of spine and length of the hamstring muscle. The purpose of this study were (1) to describe hamstring length by the use of posterior pelvic tilt (PPT) in sit reach test position (2) to examine the correlation between SRT, SLR and PPT Methods: The participants were 219 individuals. Each subject performed SLR, SRT, in the final position of sit reach test, and posterior pelvic tilt was measured using an inclinometer placed over the sacrum. Results: There was a significant difference and weak correlation between SRT, SLR and PPT measurements (P <.05) Discussion: The result suggests significant difference in hamstring length using PPT (P <0.05).
