Abstract
Abstract
Background
To study the gait parameters in asymptomatic volunteers and investigate the correlation between the gait and several radiographic sagittal profiles.
Methods
Asymptomatic volunteers (20–50 years of age) were included and allocated into three subgroups depending on pelvic incidence (low, normal, and high). Standing whole spine radiographs and gait analysis data were obtained. The Pearson Coefficient Correlation was used to determine the relationship between the gait and radiographic profiles.
Results
A total of 55 volunteers (28 male and 27 females) were included. The mean age was 27.35 ± 6.37 years old. The average sacral slope (SS), pelvic tilt (PT), pelvic incidence (PI), and PI-LL mismatch (PI-LL) were 37.78 ± 6.59, 14.51 ± 9.19 degrees, and 52.29 ± 10.87 degrees and − 0.36 ± 11.41, respectively. The mean velocity and stride of all the volunteers were 119.00 ± 30.12 cm/s and 130.25 ± 7.72 cm, correspondingly. The correlation between each of the radiographical and gait parameters was low (ranging from − 0.24 to 0.26).
Conclusion
Gait parameters were not differenced significantly between each of the PI subgroups in asymptomatic volunteers. Spinal sagittal parameters also showed a low correlation with gait parameters.
