Sacroiliac joint dysfunction (SJD) is a common problem in individuals with lumbar herniation nucleus pulposus (LHNP) plus back pain. It is important to determine the effects of SJD on the gait characteristics in individuals with LHNP.Twelve individuals with LHNP (control group) and six individuals with LHNP plus SJD (study group) will be the participants of the study. Gait characteristics of participants will be evaluate with treadmill. Participants will walk at their self-selected speed for six minutes and data from 2nd minutes to 4th minutes were selected for statistical analyses. Gait speed, cadance, step lengths, time on each foot and step length variabilities will be recorded.
