Rasterstereographic Analysis of Lateral Shift in Patients with Lumbar Disc Herniation: A Case Control Study

Table 2

Parameters of trunk, lumbar spine, and pelvis.

Parameter	Group	Mean	SD	p
PT	Patient group	5.9	9.2	.016
	Healthy controls	2.0	2.4
PT [mm]	Patient group	10.6	19.9	.033
	Healthy controls	3.3	3.7
PI (dimples)	Patient group	12.5	7.5	.002
	Healthy controls	17.8	6.9
PI (symmetry)	Patient group	15.0	10.2	.015
	Healthy controls	20.4	8.5
TT	Patient group	7.5	6.2	.017
	Healthy controls	4.5	4.1
LA	Patient group	27.5	9.6	.022
	Healthy controls	32.7	9.5

Comparison between patient group and healthy controls: mean, standard deviation (SD), and p value were illustrated for PT , PT [mm], PT (dimples), PI (symmetry) , TT , and LA .
PT = pelvic tilt; PI (dimples) = pelvic inclination (dimples); PI (symmetry) = pelvic inclination in relation to the symmetry line; TT = trunk torsion; LA = lordotic angle T12 – DM
