Purpose: To Assess Assessment of lumbosacral angle variation in middle adults with chronic low back pain.
Methodology: A cross sectional study was conducted with sample size of 267 individuals from middle adults of Sikandar Medical complex Gujranwala, District Headquarter hospital Gujranwala, Gujranwala medical complex, Gujranwala. The population was Middle Adults (45-65) of both genders. Angle was measured by Measuring scale and Protractor using X-ray of lateral view of lumbosacral spine. Obtained data were analyzed using statistical package of social sciences (SPSS).
Findings: The data has been obtained from 267 chronic low back pain patient in which 143 were male and 124 were female. Data was collected using lateral radiograph. The results show significant relation between chronic low back pain and lumbosacral angle with p-value ˂0.5. The result further shows that 32 male and 27 female were hypo lordotic while 89 male and 92 female were hyper lordotic.
Conclusion: The study concluded that lumbosacral angle increases with chronic low back pain among middle adults. The study also concludes that age, gender also associated with lumbosacral angle variation.
Recommendations: Future study needs a through physical examination. This study focuses on radiographs only but future study needs to focus on MRI and CT scan also for better understanding of pain causes. Awareness program should be conducted on causes, prevention, complication and treatment of chronic low back pain among middle adults
