Standing lumbar lateral view was performed by 20 minutes adaptation with corresponding shoe types. The angle of lumbar lordosis was taken with Wiltse and Winter´s method(angles between upper margin of 1st lumbar body and upper margin of 5th lumbar body).
The results of this study were as follow
l. Significant statistical decrease in lumbar lordosis was observed as heel heights were increased from barefoot to 8cm high heel in normal adults(p<0.05).
2. There were no significant differences in lumbar lordosis._ according to three different heel heights in patients with HNP(p>0.05).
