Overview
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.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
