Brief Summary

It has been reported that gait coordination changes in patients with chronic low back pain, walking slower, taking shorter steps and having asymmetrical stride lengths compared to their healthy peers. In addition to many factor cause gait dysfunction, sacroiliac joint dysfunction might be one of reason of these problems. A study examining the effects of sacroiliac joint dysfunction on gait and disability in individuals with chronic low back pain has not been found in the literature. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the gait parameters and disability of individuals with chronic low back pain and to reveal their relationship with sacroiliac joint dysfunction.

Conditions

Chronic Low-back Pain; Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction; Gait, Unsteady; Disability Physical

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (8)

• Gate speed of time-distance gait parameters

  Gate speed will be evaluated using with gait platform. The software gives the outcome as km/h.

  1 minutes

• Step length of time-distance gait parameters

  Step lengt will be evaluated using with gait platform. The software gives the outcome as cm and calcules for each lower extremity.

  1 minutes

• Stride length of time-distance gait parameters

  Stride length will be evaluated using with gait platform.The software gives the outcome as cm.

  1 minutes

• Step time of time-distance gait parameters

  Step time will be evaluated using with gait platform.The software gives the outcome as sec and calcules for each lower extremity.

  1 minutes

• Stride time of time-distance gait parameters

  Stride time will be evaluated using with gait platform.The software gives the outcome as sec and calcules for each lower extremity.

  1 minutes

• Cadance of time-distance gait parameters

  Cadance time will be evaluated using with gait platform.The software gives the outcome as steps/min.

  1 minutes

• Center of Pressure path length of balance parameters

  Center of Pressure path length will be evaluated using with gait platform. The software gives the outcome as mm.

  2 minutes

• Ellipse area of balance parameters

  Ellipse area will be evaluated using with gait platform. The software gives the outcome as mm2.

  1 minutes

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Oswestry Disability Index

  5 minutes

• Numeric Pain Rating Scale

  1 minutes

Study Arms (2)

SIJ Group

Individuals with sacroiliac joint dysfunction: Participants will be grouped as positive sacroiliac joint dysfunction according to Laslett's algorithm using provocation tests to detect sacroiliac joint dysfunction.

Other: No intervention

Control Group

Individuals with no sacroiliac joint dysfunction: Individuals with sacroiliac joint dysfunction: Participants will be grouped as negative sacroiliac joint dysfunction according to Laslett's algorithm using provocation tests to detect sacroiliac joint dysfunction.

Other: No intervention

Interventions

No intervention OTHER

There is no intervention in this study
