Many patients with genu valgum present with postural changes, such as: internal rotation of the tibial and femoral axes, anteversion of the iliac bones, increased lumbar lordosis, thoracic hyperkyphosis and cervical hyperlordosis. Such pathomechanical changes may interfere with lumbar range of motion. Investigators of this study try to answer the following question: is there a relationship between sacral angle and lumbar range of motion in women with bilateral genu valgum. the results of this study will help professionals to plan a proper treatment program for patients with genu valgum.
