Spino-pelvic alignment, balance, and functional disability in patients with low-grade degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis.

CONCLUSION: Pelvic tilt was the major compensating factor in both groups (patients with and without degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis). Sacral slope and lumbar lordosis contributed to partial compensation in the degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis group. Lumbar lordosis correlated with body mass index. Sacral slope could be an indicator of fall risk in the non-degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis group. PMID: 30307025 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
