title: A spatial configuration of the lumbo-sacral part of the vertebral column--an importance in the etiology of low back pain.
abstract: Chronic low back pain is a very important problem in our civilization. Does a spatial configuration of the vertebral column have an influence on the occurrence of chronic low back pain? Author has compared values of Whitman-Fergusson's angle and Cobb's angle for standing position in patients and controls. No significant differences between both groups have been founded. Beside of this, inclination od sacrum to a horizontal line has had an influence on a value lumbar lordosis in both groups.
