The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of low back pain(LBP) and pelvic displacement on foot orthosis. Before and after experiments were designed to compare the effect. 21 LBP patients who were the subjects diagnosed of applying foot orthosis for 3 weeks after, investigated about pelvic obliquity angle, displacement of ilium, lumbo-sacral angle by x-ray test which is one of pelvic displacement tests, visual analogue scale is used for LBP measurement. The result show the followings; First, Pelvic obliquity angle was significantly reduced after applying foot orthosis compared before using it(p<.05). Second, Displacement of ilium was significantly reduced after applying foot orthosis compared before using it(p<.05). Third, Lumbo-sacral angle was significantly reduced after applying foot orthosis compared before using it(p<.05). Fourth, LBP was significantly reduced after applying foot orthosis compared before using it(p<.05). This study tries to suggest new LBP treatment to reduce pelvic displacement by apply foot orthosis. In conclusion, foot orthosis reduces pelvic obliquity angle, displacement of ilium, lumbo-sacral angle and also decrease LBP. Further more, It needs of biomechanical study which can recognize relation between foot arch and pelvic displacement. This study will serve as a clinically useful data for diagnosis and treatment of LBP and biomechanical analysis of lower limb.
