Abstract: Individuals with the age group of 60 and above are considered as geriatrics. Low back pain is most commonly found in geriatrics which leads to functional impairments and disability in them. People with back pain may show reduced proprioception in the pelvic region affecting their awareness of movement and thus can lead to potentially reduced postural control. With ageing there are changes seen in muscle strength, endurance, power, flexibility, range of motion and postural alignment which may affect the person’s ability to respond to balance perturbation. There is change in lumbar spine and pelvis position with ageing because of changes in surrounding structures Position of pelvis not only influences abdominal and back muscles but also muscles of lower limb attached to pelvis are affected, mostly gluteus maximus or muscle group of posterior thighs which help in maintaining erect posture. Methodology- Ethical approval had been obtained.100 subjects above 60 years of age were included in this study. Pelvic tilt was measured using pelvic inclinometer. Berg balance was used to assess the balance of geriatrics. A statistical analysis was performed and results were obtained. Result- On statistical analysis there is no correlation of anterior pelvic tilt and sitting to standing balance(p=0.281); standing unsupported balance(p=0.790); reaching forward with outstretched hand(p=0.734); retrieving object from floor(p=0.346); turning to look behind(p=0.251). There was a negative correlation between anterior pelvic tilt and standing to sitting balance(p=0.007); transfer balance(p=0.007); standing with eyes closed(p=0.010); standing with feet together(p=0.004); turning 360 degrees(p<0.001); placing alternate foot on stool balance(p=0.044); standing with one foot in front(p<0.001); standing on one foot (p<0.001); total berg balance score(p<0.001). Correlation of posterior pelvic tilt with balance could not be concluded because of less subjects. Conclusion- The study concludes that, there is a negative correlation between anterior pelvic tilt and balance in geriatrics with low back pain(r=-0.394).
