The purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation between pattern of gait and pelvic displacement in patients with lumbar disc herniation.
Walking is a repetitive movement that moves your body while keeping your posture stable. The pelvis is located between the hip and lumbar region, where many muscles are attached to regulate the movement of the hip and lumbar spine. Asymmetrical pelvic alignment affects stability of the lower extremities and trunk, making normal walking difficult. The purpose of this study is to investigate the pattern of gait according to pelvic displacement in patients with lumbar disc herniation.

Correlation between pelvic displacement and gait parameters
\<Pelvic displacement\> * Sacral angle : The angle between the parallel line drawn on the first vertebral body(Sacrum) and the horizontal line * Leg Length Discrepancy : Difference between the values of both sides by measuring the height of the upper edge of both femoral heads * Pelvic height : Difference between the left and right peaks of both iliac crests * Gravity line : Line passing through the gravity point(L3) of the human body \<Gait parameters\> Step, Stance phase, Swing phase, Single support, Double support, Step time, Stride, Cadence, Load response, Pre swing, Gait cycle, Speed, Acceleration, contact phase, foot flat, propulsive, PCI
