Objectives: This study was designed to investigate the correlation between cervical, lumbar lordosis and low back pain(LBP), sex, age and duration of LBP.
Methods: Cervical, lumbar lordosis(by Cobb’s Method) and Ferguson’s angle were measured and evaluated in LBP group and control. Radiograph was taken in lateral direction, erect position. Cobb’s angle between C1-C7, C2-C7, L1-L5, L1-S1 and Ferguson’s angle were measured and investigated with statistical program.
Results: 1. Cervical lordosis have no relation to LBP, sex and age. 2. Lumbar lordosis and Ferguson’s angle have no relation to LBP and sex. 3. Cobb’s angle L1-L5 have no relation to age. Lumbar lordosis from L1 to S1(Cobb’s angle L1-S1) increased in old group(Age>40) compared to young group(Age≤40). 4. In LBP group, Cobb’s angle L1-S1 have no relation to duration of LBP. Lumbar lordosis from L1 to L5(Cobb’s angle L1-L5) decreased in acute LBP group compared to Chronic group.
Conclusions: Cervical, lumbar lordosis and Ferguson’s angle have no relation to LBP and sex. As far as age is concerned, old group have larger lumbosacral lordosis than young group. Acute LBP group have smaller lumbar lordosis(Cobb’s angle L1-L5) than chronic group
