متن کاملSagittal alignment of the spine-pelvis-lower extremity axis in patients with severe knee osteoarthritis
OBJECTIVES Normal sagittal spine-pelvis-lower extremity alignment is crucial in humans for maintaining an ergonomic upright standing posture, and pathogenesis in any segment leads to poor balance. The present study aimed to investigate how this sagittal alignment can be affected by severe knee osteoarthritis (KOA), and whether associated changes corresponded with symptoms of lower back pain (LB...
