 Background & Aimlimitations and problems for the patients and community. Measurements of the curvature of the lumbar spineare useful in the investigations of low back pain. It is unclear whether the degree of lumbosacral angulation isthe same for all normal adults. Therefore, regarding considerable prevalence of back pain in Iranian population,this study was performed to measure lumbosacral angle in Iranian individuals.: Low back pain (LBP) is one of the common ailments which usually lead to considerablePatients and Methodorthopedic clinic of Hazrat-e-Rasoul Hospital in Tehran.

However, the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Additionally, asignificant correlation was found between age and the mean of lumbosacral angle (P=0.025).Out of 130, 70 were female and 60 were male. The total mean lumbosacral angle wasConclusion: However, more studies are needed to evaluate the association between lumbosacral angle and the incidence oflow back painThe results of current study show that lumbosacral angle is about 12-14° in Iranian individuals..
