Abstract Synopsis

  • The study analyzed radiographs from 160 symptom-free volunteers to classify normal variations in the sagittal alignment of their lumbar spine and pelvis, using a custom computer analysis and a four-part classification scheme.
  • The research highlighted the reciprocal relationships between sacral orientation, pelvic incidence, and lumbar lordosis characteristics, showing how these features vary among individuals.
  • Understanding these variations in sagittal alignment could help identify how spinal balance relates to degenerative changes and back pain, improving diagnosis and treatment strategies.]
