The Effects of Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction on Gait and Disability

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.

Primary outcomes

  1. Gate speed of time-distance gait parameters

    Time frame: 1 minutes

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

  2. Step length of time-distance gait parameters

    Time frame: 1 minutes

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

  3. Stride length of time-distance gait parameters

    Time frame: 1 minutes

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

  4. Step time of time-distance gait parameters

    Time frame: 1 minutes

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

  5. Stride time of time-distance gait parameters

    Time frame: 1 minutes

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

  6. Cadance of time-distance gait parameters

    Time frame: 1 minutes

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

  7. Center of Pressure path length of balance parameters

    Time frame: 2 minutes

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

  8. Ellipse area of balance parameters

    Time frame: 1 minutes

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

Secondary outcomes

  1. Oswestry Disability Index

    Time frame: 5 minutes

    The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) is an index derived from the Oswestry Low Back Pain Questionnaire used by clinicians and researchers to quantify disability for low back pain. The self-completed questionnaire contains ten questions. Each question is scored on a scale of 0-5. The scores for all questions answered are summed, then multiplied by two to obtain the index (range 0 to 100). Zero is equated with no disability and 100 is the maximum disability possible.

  2. Numeric Pain Rating Scale

    Time frame: 1 minutes

    The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) that is a unidimensional measure of pain intensity in adults. The 11-point numeric scale ranges from '0' representing one pain extreme (e.g. "no pain") to '10' representing the other pain extreme (e.g. "pain as bad as you can imagine" or "worst pain imaginable".
