touch the toes. The trunk flexion measure minus
the standing up baseline measure served as the
trunk flexion ROM. A pain flexion ROM measure
(touch toes to the point of pain) was then obtained,
as above, but the person was asked to reach toward
the toes or flex the trunk as far as possible, even
with pain. This measure was also subtracted from
the baseline standing up measure. All physical
measurements were collected by MHR who was assessed for reliability prior to the start of the
study.
