Pelvis Displacement and Gait Indicators in Patient With Lumbar Disc Herniation

Correlation Analysis of Pelvis Displacement and Gait Indicators in Patient With Lumbar Disc Herniation : Retrospective Study Using Electronic Medical Record Data

The purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation between pattern of gait and pelvic displacement in patients with lumbar disc herniation.

Walking is a repetitive movement that moves your body while keeping your posture stable. The pelvis is located between the hip and lumbar region, where many muscles are attached to regulate the movement of the hip and lumbar spine. Asymmetrical pelvic alignment affects stability of the lower extremities and trunk, making normal walking difficult. The purpose of this study is to investigate the pattern of gait according to pelvic displacement in patients with lumbar disc herniation.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Lumbar intervertebral disc herniation as confirmed by a doctor of medicine or a doctor of Korean medicine through an MRI
• Patient who got gait analysis

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients without MRI and X-ray
• Patient diagnosed with ankle disease
