Abstract

|
|
Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate correlations between lumbar lordotic angle(LLA), Ferguson’s angle(FA) and bone mineral density(BMD) in patients with low back pain.
Methods : We measured LLA, FA and BMD of 199 patients with low back pain. Then we analyzed correlations between LLA, FA and BMD using statistical program.
Results :, There was significant correlation between LLA and FA, and also between age, height and BMD. There was no significant correlations between LLA, FA and BMD. BMD of paitients also showed no significant correlations with LLA and FA according to age and sex.
Conclusions : BMD had no significant effect on LLA and FA. On the other hand, there was significant correlation between LLA and FA.
