Radiological characteristics of lumbar vertebrae in patients with low back pain and change of motor control of the muscles of the lumbopelvic region

Background. Asymmetry of facets orientation and facets tropism of the lumbar zygoapophyseal joints is considered as one of the risk factors for developmental degenerative diseases of the spine. However, publications on asymmetry of articular facets in patients with low back pain and changes of motor stereotype were not found in the available literature. Purpose – is a comparative study of X-ray anatomical features of the lumbar vertebrae in patients with low back pain and impaired motor control of the muscles of the lumbopelvic region and asymptomatic volunteers.
