About this study
Official title: Impact of Pelvic Asymmetry on Hip Joint Proprioception in Patients With Lumbar Radiculopathy
This observational study aims to investigate the impact of pelvic asymmetry on hip joint proprioception in patients with lumbar radiculopathy. Proprioception, or the body's sense of joint position and movement, plays an essential role in posture and stability. People with lumbar radiculopathy often suffer from back and leg pain and may experience changes in posture and balance. This study aims to examine the relationship between pelvic asymmetry, hip joint proprioception and low back pain which may help improve physical therapy approaches for such patients.
Read the detailed description
In this study, participants with confirmed lumbar radiculopathy will undergo clinical and biomechanical assessment. Pelvic alignment will be assessed in both the frontal plane and the sagittal plane using Kinovea software for image-based angle measurements. Hip joint proprioception will be evaluated using an isokinetic dynamometer to assess joint position sense (JPS) under controlled conditions. Additionally, the Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) will be used to quantify subjective pain levels.
The goal is to identify whether a correlation exists between pelvic asymmetry and deficits in hip joint proprioception and low back pain in this patient group. The findings may contribute to improving targeted rehabilitation strategies and clinical decision-making in the management of patients with lumbar radiculopathy.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Pelvic Asymmetry Group | Participants in this group are patients diagnosed with lumbar radiculopathy who present with frontal plane and sagittal plane pelvic asymmetry. Pelvic asymmetry is assessed using Kinovea software . Hip joint proprioception will be evaluated using an isokinetic dynamometer. Pain levels will also be recorded using the Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS). | |
| No Pelvic Asymmetry Group | Participants in this group are patients diagnosed with lumbar radiculopathy who do not exhibit measurable pelvic asymmetry by kinovea software in the frontal plane or the sagittal plane . The same assessment procedures will be applied, including hip joint proprioception using an isokinetic dynamometer and pain assessment using the NPRS |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Hip Joint Position Error (JPE)
Hip joint position sense (JPS) will be assessed using an isokinetic dynamometer. Participants will perform three consecutive trials to replicate the target joint angle, and the average absolute repositioning error will be calculated for analysis.
Measured: Baseline
