Abstract: Objective To investigate the static postural balance of patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH). Methods From January to September, 2015, thirty patients with LDH were as observation group, and thirty healthy adult people were as control group. Their bal-ance function were detected and compared. Results The sway length, sway area and anteroposterior sway velocity were higher in the obser-vation group than in the control group (t>2.262, P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in mediolateral sway velocity between two groups (t=1.946, P=0.057) in eye-open condition. All of the indexes were higher in eye-closed condition in the observation group than in the control group (t>2.767, P<0.01), as well as the Romberg values (t>2.326, P<0.05). Conclusion Impairment of the proprioception and lower back pain affected the postural control of patients with LDH, who relied more on vision input to maintain postural stability.
