Objective: The objective of the study was to measure the anterior pelvic tilt for both males and females of low back pain patients.
Methods: Observational type. Procedure: Totally, 120 subjects were approached. In that 70 were males and 50 were females. Using i@handy
application in mobile anterior pelvic tilt was calculated among low back pain patients.
Results: Anterior pelvic tilt was increased in low back pain patients (male - 14.15° and female - 16.26°). In that correlation between males and visual
analog scale (VAS) was not significant. However, there was a significant correlation found in female anterior pelvic tilt and VAS (p<0.01).
Conclusion: This study concluded that there was an increase in anterior pelvic tilt among low back pain patients. Anterior pelvic tilt and VAS was
highly correlated in females, not in males.
