dc.description.abstractObjective: This study aimed to examine the relationship of lumbar lordosis angle and lumbar muscle thickness with non-specific low back pain (LBP) through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images.Methods: The study included 96 individuals (43 men/53 women) aged between 18-65 with non-specific LBP that is not explained by disc pathology based on MRI, who applied to affiliated Training and Research Hospital with the complaint of LBP between March-June 2019. Sociodemographic information was recorded using an LBP assessment form. The Oswestry LBP Disability Questionnaire was used for LBP disability. The thicknesses of muscle (m.) psoas major, m. multifidus, m. quadratus lumborum and m. erector spinae were measured corresponding to the L3-L4 vertebral level by using Radiant DICOM viewer program. The Cobb Angle method was used for lumbar lordosis angle determination. Measurements were made in three repetitions using the Radiant DICOM viewer program. Results: The results showed that an inverse relationship was found between the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and m. psoas major thickness (p<0.05). Given the comparison of right -left side muscle thicknesses, left side muscles were thicker (p<0.05). There were no significant differences observed between males and females in terms of lumbar lordosis angle (LLA). However, in terms of muscle thickness, males exhibited higher values, except for the transverse measurements of the right quadratus lumborum and left erector spinae muscles, which showed no significant differences (p < 0.05). Furthermore, a positive correlation was found between LLA and the transverse thickness of the left psoas major muscle (p = 0.034) and the anterior-posterior thickness of the bilateral erector spinae muscles (p < 0.001).Conclusions: In regard to inverse relationship between m. psoas major thickness and ODI, m. psoas major should be taken into consideration to alleviate the disability caused by LBP. Additionally, the difference on both sides is likely one of the causes of muscle imbalance, and this might be one of the reasons for LBP, thereby causing disability in daily tasks due to LBP.en_US
