Objectives: To study postural and spinal static modifications associated with chronic low back pain in menopausal women.
Methods: Clinical appreciation of static spinal profile in sagittal plane; postural evaluation on the Balance Master Neurocom force platform by the modified clinical test for the sensory interaction on balance (modified CTSIB test); Radiological evaluation of spinal and pelvic parameters as well as the sagittal profile according to the Roussouly classification.
Results: Spinal curves clinical measurement and the sway velocity of the pressure center on the Balance Master Neurocom do not show significant difference between the two groups.
