the aim of the study is to investigate the impact of gender difference on knee proprioception among non specific low back pain young adults.
Forty-one Patients from each gender participated in the study.
Subject's age ranged from 18-26 years old, with Body Mass Index (BMI) less than 30Kg/m2
The dominant knees of the subjects (defined as the leg used for kicking) are tested.
Pain between three and eight using numerical pain rating scale NPRS, and Oswestry Disability Index score less than 20.
limitation of active and passive knee joint motion.
clinical signs of an impairment or abnormality in the knee (such as abnormal range of motion, muscle weakness, or malalignment).
injury to the knee that required medical attention.
current pain in the knee or previous surgery on the knee.
Eighty-two Young Adults (include males and females), ranging in age from 18 to 26, will be included in the study. Individuals will be assigned into 2 groups. Group (A) 41 males with non specific low back pain (B) 41 females with non specific low back pain.
