The parameters were taken in 20 cases of low back pain group 20 cases of non-low back pain group, In low back pain group, the mean degree of lumbar lordosis, the mean degree of sacral inclination, and mean degree of lumbosacral joint angle were 27.7 ⁑ 6.3⁗, 37.5 ⁑ 7.1⁗, and 9.0 ⁑ 6.9⁗respectively. In non-low back pain group, the mean degree of lumbar lordosis, the mean degree of lumbar lordosis, the mean degree of sacral inclination, and the mean degree of lumbosacral joint angle were 21.7 ⁑ 7.0⁗,31.3 ⁑ 7.0⁗, and 10.2 ⁑ 5.6⁗ respectively. There were statistically significant increases in lumbar lordosis and sacral inclination in low back pain group.
