AB  - OBJECTIVE: The current study aimed at determining the difference in hamstring 
      tightness between dominant and non-dominant legs and to detect the correlation 
      between LBP and hamstring tightness. PATIENTS AND METHODS: One hundred females 
      with hamstring tightness of at least 15 degrees have been included in the study. 
      Hamstring shortening was examined by the Active Knee Extension test (AKE) and 
      Straight Leg Raising test (SLR), whilst the functional disability' degree was 
      measured by Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). RESULTS: The straight leg raising 
      and the AKE of the dominant leg were significantly more flexible than the 
      non-dominant ones. There was a weak positive non-significant correlation between 
      ODI and AKE of the dominant side (r = 0.162, p = 0.1) and the non-dominant side 
      (r = 0.071, p = 0.48). There was a weak negative non-significant correlation 
      between ODI and SLR of the dominant side (r = - 0.29, p = 0.77) and the 
      non-dominant side (r = - 0.53, p = 0.6). CONCLUSIONS: There was no relation 
      between the degree of hamstring tightness and LBP in female students at Jouf 
      University.
