Abstract: The spinopelvic alignment (SPA) closely relates to lumbar disease. This paper summarized various kinds of SPA parameters, introduced a new measure of computer motion analysis system. Most of patients with lumbar disc degeneration are found the lumbar lordosis decreasing, which indicates pelvic tilt and trunk anteversion. However, no obviously SPA varieties are found in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis and nonspecific low back pain. The SPA parameters can also be used as indices for evaluation of treatment for lumbar disease. Future researches may focus on selection of SPA parameters, noninvasive measurements, relationship to lumbar disease and application of SPA for evaluation of interventions.
