Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate lumbopelvic stability, lumbopelvic mobility, and spinopelvic parameters in patients with lumbar disc
hernia (LDH).
Materials and Methods: The study included 20 patients with LDH who met the study inclusion criteria and 20 age and gender-matched
healthy volunteers. All the subjects were evaluated using a visual analog scale for pain intensity assessment, trunk flexor, and right/left lateral
trunk flexor muscle endurance tests and Sorensen tests for lumbopelvic stability, Schober and sit-and-reach tests for lumbopelvic mobility,
lateral radiography for spinopelvic parameters and the Oswestry Disability Index for physical functionality.
Results: There was a significant difference between the groups with respect to lumbopelvic stability, lumbopelvic mobility, lumbosacral angle,
pain, and physical functionality (p<0.05). A highly significant moderate to good negative correlation was obtained between endurance tests
and pain and functionality scores. A highly statistically significant moderate to good negative correlation was found between pain scores,
Oswestry functionality questionnaire results and Schober test values.
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that lumbopelvic stability, lumbopelvic mobility and lumbosacral angle values were decreased
in patients with LDH compared with healthy individuals. Therefore, lumbopelvic stability and mobility exercises, and postural control
exercises to correct the protective mechanisms that will improve spinopelvic parameters as well as optimal posture, should be included in
rehabilitation programs for patients with LDH.
