Abstract

Objectives: The lumbosacral joint is unstable area from an anatomical viewpoint, while it is also a very mobile area in ordinary life, so that clinically major causes of low back pain originate in this joint. The purpose of this study is to assess the difference of the Ferguson angles and Lumbar gravity lines between the acute and chronic among lumbago patients.
Methods: Ferguson angle and Lumbar gravity line were measured and evaluated in 81 lumbago patients in the standing position.
Results and Conclusions:
1. Ferguson angle is decreased and Lumbar gravity line is posterior shift in acute stage of lumbago.
2. Ferguson angle is increased and Lumbar gravity line is anterior shift in chronic stage of lumbago.
3. Aging is relative with anterior shifting of lumbar gravity line.
4. Increasing of Ferguson angle is relative with anterior shifting of lumbar gravity line.
5. The instability of lumbasacral joint is increased in cases of chronic stage of lumbago and the weight bearing force is increased in cases of acute stage of lumbago.
