Study population: Participants who directly presented to the Physical Therapy Department of Kutahya Health Sciences University Hospital during the study period with persistent low back pain, will be screened for eligibility by an independent physician (H.H.G.)

Brief summary: It has been reported that gait coordination changes in patients with chronic low back pain, walking slower, taking shorter steps and having asymmetrical stride lengths compared to their healthy peers. In addition to many factor cause gait dysfunction, sacroiliac joint dysfunction might be one of reason of these problems. A study examining the effects of sacroiliac joint dysfunction on gait and disability in individuals with chronic low back pain has not been found in the literature. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the gait parameters and disability of individuals with chronic low back pain and to reveal their relationship with sacroiliac joint dysfunction.
