Dissertation note: Thesis (M.Sc.) - Cairo University - Faculty of Physical Therapy - Department of Basic Science Summary: Background: Physiotherapy students are reliable to have low back pain due to prolonged sitting during lectures or personal study and practical classes. Two screening tests were used to identify any abnormal lumbopelvic control in undergraduate physiotherapy students and to identify the associated factors. Purpose: This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of abnormal lumbo-pelvic motor control among undergraduate physiotherapy students and to explore the potential associations between the prevalence rate and students{u2019} gender, academic year, BMI, strength of gluteus medius and maximus, endurance time of side bridge test and flexibility of hamstring and iliopsoas muscles. Materials and Methods: 140 physiotherapy students without history of back or hip pain. Their ages ranged from 17-25 years old. Each participant did the following: Active Straight Leg Raise Test, Modified Thomas Test, Active Hip Abduction Test (AHAbd), Prone Hip Extension Test (PHE) and Side Bridging Test, then the strength of gluteus medius and maximus muscles was measured for each participant by hand held dynamometer. Results: Descriptive statistics revealed that 11 students (7.9%) were classified as 2negative3 to the PHE test, whereas 129 students (92.1%) were classified as 2positive3 to the test, 5 (3.6%) students were classified as 2negative3 to the AHAbd test, whereas 135 (96.4%) students were classified as 2positive3 to the test. There was no significant difference in strengths of gluteus medius and maximus muscles between positive and negative subgroups, there was no significant difference in flexibility of iliopsoas and hamstring between positive and negative subgroups, there was no significant difference in holding time of side bridge test between positive and negative subgroups. Sex was the only significant factor between positive and negative subgroups. BMI was about to be significant factor between positive and negative subgroups
