Background: A previous study examined the relationship between the sacral inclination angle (SIA), lumbosacral angle (LSA) and sacral horizontal angle (SHA) and spinal mobility in acute low back pain and chronic low back pain patients. We chose to investigate the lumbar lordosis angle, segmental lumbar lordosis angle, SIA, LSA and SHA in acute and chronic low back pain (LBP) patients as well as the correlation between spinal stability and these angles.

Objectives: To investigate the biomechanics of the lumbosacral spine region in acute and chronic LBP patients, as well as to examine the correlation between spinal stability and lumbosacral angles.
